ISS and STS133

Hey all,

Had a double this morning, the ISS at 0551 mag -2.3. Had a little bit of high cloud but got a few snaps with the 1000D and the kit 18 - 55 mm lens.

Second up, seeing as it is Discovery's last fling, at 0626 (according to my watch, it was a little late) sts133 mission approaching corvus.

Was fun to say the least, although, first comments from here were, "You got up at 5.15 to take a picture of a white line". hahaha.

Thanks Steve, yeah, watched the launch yesterday, it was a great way to spend the morning, I just love Nasa TV. I've seen lots of different captures of it over the years and have never attempted it myself. I'm glad I made the effort.
