Last night and tonight there were passes of the International Space Station, nearly overhead. The ISS is a beautiful thing to see. It looks like one of the brightest stars in the sky, moving ever so slowly from horizon to horizon. There is a website where they post the passes, telling us what time, and what direction it comes from, and which direction it is moving across the sky. So I went out and set up my camera at the appointed time. This is a 90 second time exposure of the sky with the ISS seen as a streak in the sky. I closed the shutter too soon, so the trail stops before the edge of the picture, as it was going through the bowl of the big dipper. Kind of cool, huh?

Your professional photograph is a lot more interesting than the very amateurish shot that I took of The International Space Station about three weeks ago over the skies of Charleston with my iPhone. But watching the Space Station fly overhead for a few minutes was very cool indeed!
VERY cool! Interesting information. Also, love the color...bsk
