Hi all,

I got up early this morning and headed up Mt Coot-tha to photograph the International Space Station passing over the Brisbane CBD. The view also included Venus (at greatest western elongation), Mars and Mercury low on the horizon. First time I've tried Mt Coot-tha as a venue for this sort of thing, and I'll probably go back in 2 weeks time when the crescent Moon joins the 3 planets.

Here are a few images. The first and second show the ISS pass (at 5:07 am), and the other 2 are taken at about 5:25 and 5:35 am.

Thanks for looking!

Cheers,
Stephen
