*The bright line in the sky is the International Space Station which at certain times is visible in the night sky. I took this using a tripod with my 18 – 55mm lens set to 33mm, f/22 and a 8 second exposure. I am rather pleased with it but I would like to try again, when it is next passing by, with a longer exposure to see if I can capture a longer path of light across the night sky.

round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there’s nothing I can do.”

Amazing capture. I have been wanting to do star trail pictures, never thought to catch the space station though.
Oh this is really amazing! I can totally understand why you want to try again π
How cool and yay for a clear night! The ISS was supposed to be visible near us a few months ago, but we couldn’t see it.
Hi Molly!. Thanks a lot for stopping by. Did you move your blog??? OK, now found you again… π
Yes, when I enlarge your night shot, I can see the German astronaut Alexander Gerst looking and waving out of the shuttle window… π
Kind regards from sunny Germany right after the sun set,
Uwe.
That’s such a unique shot! I hope you share your next try at catching it, too!
It’s so bright and great capture. Looking forward to seeing your next attempt.
Thanks for sharing and commenting on my blog.
