Hi All,
I totally forgot I had this image from last March of the ISS passing over, seeing Conors ISS trails reminded me of it.
It is a composite of 6 images patched together in photoshop.

I managed to get rid of most of the skyglow, but in doing so I managed to enhance the skyglow around the wall and buildings, the skyglow was not as bad as the image suggests. There was also a full moon just out of shot at the top of the image, which made getting the images even more interesting :lol:

I used iso 400 and the exposure lengths of each image was 15 seconds, even though the trail on the far left is shorter then the others. The direction of travel was right to left.

Thanks guys,
This is a very low res version, hence the ISS line is not quite even (jpeg compression).
I really cant put a bigger version here, or Bart might come after me :wink:
I'll get a slightly bigger version on the SAC site soon enough.

If there was no skyglow and no moon, it would have been great if I could have used a slower iso speed and cought the entire trail crossing the sky in one picture.
