20 march 2009 ISS and Shuttle past scorpio

[h0ughy (David)]

wow, when they first came into view you could see the two complete structures; the ISS was brighter than the shuttle by heaps. Then all I did was wait until they were passing by Scorpio for the shots I got. I must say heavens above nailed it to the letter with timing and position.My cheap and nasty pictures follow - taken pentax k10d and 15 seconds iso 800 20mm f2.8

Well done mate, nice captures !
It make a nice animation if you quickly flick through each frame, looks like a laser blaster.

Would've loved to have seen it.

Well captures and in a nice star field to.

Isn't it amazing what can be done with quite basic setup.

ok had a bit of a process and stack with the files - did 31 x 15 second shots with 1 second between shots - shows that the ISS is moving pretty quickly
