Here are some photos of the ISS I captured on Friday May 11. Taken with the Oly C5060WZ. Noise reduction and saved for the web in PS CS3.

Another pass tonight (about 5 mins away for say Adelaide to Tassie along the coast!!!)

nice catch Al. Gee it was bright

Yeah, HOughy it was about mag -1.7 I think. Not as bright as Venus obviously, but it was up there.

Here's an animation as well. Venus is in the lower right of frame, Betelgeuse is the next brightest star in frame.

All images were 15 sec exposures so the animation is roughly 7.5x real speed (ignoring time between shots).
