Bitter Sweet night of observing at Kulnura.

Last night was disappointing at first when we arrived at Kulnura.
Clouded over and didn't manage to get much viewing in apart from the odd glimps of the moon.

Mike and Rod then decided to call it a night and left.

Thats' when all our luck changed.
Louie, gazz and I tracked the ISS through a sucker hole for about 25 sec managing to capture the avi of the sun reflecting off one of it's solar panels.

If you look closely you can see the pattern of the panels and it's also blurry from the rapid movement of the IIS.

Well that's the best we could pull off last night, the rest of the night we were observing the cloud nebula.
