Quick and dirty shot of a very bright ISS pass as 22:55 yesterday.

First wideshot I've tried for a while , last shot of the night........thin cloud rolled in and put an end to the session..........

Cracking image. I accidentally caught the ISS flying over our house earlier. Well, I assume it was, but that thing is unmistakable, right?

It's pretty unmistakable , brightest thing in the sky , once you've seen it you'll definitely recognise it the next time,

Check out the satellite plug-in on Stellarium for times and pass tracks or here....
