ISS Pass

Three views from a pass of the International Space Station last night.

(a) From the West rising under Cancer, through Serpens on the way to Leo. (M44 Beehive cluster is just visible in Cancer if you click to enlarge)
(b) Continuing under Leo
(c) Into Virgo (heading towards Saturn on this occasion).

Taken in sequence, 22.20 GMT, 27 April 2011.   Exposure 20 seconds at f.4, ISO500, 17mm on Canon 7D.

The trail is starting to dim in the last picture, and disappeared completely over the next five seconds.

To find out when the ISS is next coming over, I get Twitter alerts from Twisst.
