Bright meteor and ISS in same frame from 5Aug09

Hi all,

This is a frame from the animation that I posted back on 5th August. I'd temporarily forgotten about this, but have now gone back and adjusted it a bit. I think the result is quite nice. That's the ISS coming out of the cloud in the top half of the image, and the meteor streaking across below it. Between these 2 is Mars, and Venus is down the bottom of the image. Orion and the Pleiades are also visible, at the top of the image. The chances of catching all this in 1 frame must be very very small!

Thanks for looking.

Cheers,
Stephen
