Hi all,

We had a nice bright (mag -2.5) pass this evening, and despite lots of cloud around, I thought I'd have another go at capturing it. The first image shows the station moving through the Carina/Vela area, and then it passed between the Moon and Saturn on its way to the horizon. I was a bit surprised to be able to image it behind cloud that close to the Moon. Anyway, here are a couple of images.

Cheers,
Stephen

Yep sure is pretty bright Stephen,

Looks good with the cloud and through the cloud as well.
Hope the cloud clears away for you to do some observing.

Cheers
Trevor

It sure is bright to catch it going past the Moon like that!

Nice captures.

Thanks Trevor and Mike.

Hopefully I'll be able to catch the shuttle heading to the HST some time next week!

Cheers,
Stephen
