A moonlit ISS conjunction, 4th July 2012

Hi all,

There was a nice International Space Station pass yesterday morning, between the Pleiades-Jupiter-Venus-Hyades conjunction and Orion, and the nearly-full Moon was low in the west providing some nice foreground illumination, so I braved the cold and headed down to the local park to capture it.

Here's the results. The first image shows the scene before the ISS arrived, and the second (which is a stack of about 20x6 sec exposures) shows the ISS pass.

There's also a nice animation (5 megabytes) of the ISS pass here

Thanks for looking!

Cheers,
Stephen
