ISS at dawn, 11July09

Here's a shot of the ISS passing Mars, Venus, and Orion at dawn this morning. The sun was only 11 degrees below the horizon which made long exposures difficult, so instead I've taken a series of 6 sec exposures and stacked them.

There's also a longer exposure taken about 20 minutes earlier when the sky was darker, showing the Pleiades and Hyades clearly. Venus will pass through the Hyades on Monday morning.

Cheers,
Stephen
