The International Space Station passed over my part of the world recently. I like to watch it when the conditions are right. Sometimes, I set up the iPad for a time exposure. This time I recorded the event with a different camera setup. My Canon was on a tripod pointed at the west-northwest sky. Six exposures were made. Each was 15 sec in duration. Each was started 40 sec after the start of the previous one. The first two images were combined with software into this one image. It was a little after 8:08 pm local time. Other objects of interest in the image are Taurus in upper left, Pleiades a little below right from Taurus, Perseus in top center, and Cassiopeia right center.

During the intervening seconds before the third image, I turned the camera on the tripod to face northwest above Cassiopeia. I moved the camera and missed the fourth image.

Images five and six were with the camera pointing north-northeast toward the Big Dipper. The dipper points to Polaris. The Little Dipper is barely visible.

This was the first time I captured images from nearly horizon-to-horizon by moving the camera during the sequence. If you are viewing by phone or a tablet device, the details in the images might not show. A full-screen desktop view works best.
Glad you got some good weather.
It changed quickly. Today is cloudy and rainy.
That’s us tomorrow. We always get your used weather.
We will send you only the best this time. No storms.
The ISS always gives me a thrill when I watch it, as I have so many times.
Your method of recording the flyover was well considered and the images very well presented.

It is amazing to realize their speed of 5 miles/sec.
Thanks for your kind words.
Great shots! Always exciting to see the Space Station.
Nice shots Jim. These days it’s great to be reminded (often) of our very small place in this vast universe.
Thanks Henry. I agree. I appreciate your visit to several posts.
