Looking at the track, if you are in Hobart, stick ya head out the window in about half an hour.

The live HD from NASA is all i dreamed of as a kid. I will miss it.

Well I thought I was ready tonight for the last ever pass...
It was going to be difficult, only 24 degrees over my SW sky, and
with the de-orbit burn done over Malaysia only 20 mins or so before.

I had the ED80 and C500 webcam ready along with my son on DSLR
time exposure duties.

Well I accidentally left the 18-55mm DSLR lens at 55mm so it was
too zoomed in to get a longer trail. No time to refocus and widen!

But we got her...Atlantis was about 50 mins away from wheels down
at the Cape
As it flew over here in Adelaide in this shot they were already committed
to re-enter. There is/was no way to change that fact. She was coming home.

Well done Steve.

Nice shot Steve, better than mine. I got 6 minutes of heavy cloud with tiny pockets of clear sky

Good shot Steve.
An historic line on the sky.
