Genesis II satellite passing through Canis Major

[StephenM (Stephen)]

Hi all,

Here's a quick shot of Genesis II passing by Canis Major this evening. Predicted magnitude was 2.7. Image taken with K100D and 70-300mm telephoto set on 70mm; 20 sec exposure at f/4 and 400 iso. First time I've captured this one.

Cheers,
Stephen

Nice catch, Stephen. Man-made satellites fascinate me.

Over here on the Pacific Coast of the States we have the ISS making it's pass every other day for about a week. And I'll be out there every night... doesn't matter how many times I've seen it.

Thanks Kirk. We have some good ISS passes here next week as well.

Cheers,
Stephen
