Very bright ISS pass last night

[Skipper Billy]

Very bright International Space Station pass last night - missed the second one - clouded over as usual! Hard to believe that there are people inside that tin can travelling at 17000 mph 300 miles up travelling right round the globe (disc to the flat earthers 😉  ) every 90 mins.

Had the time-lapse going and caught it.      Good job all the Star-link satellites aren't this bright !!!!

Nice pics. I caught the 2am pass. It was indeed extremely bright. I may be fooling myself but through the 10 x 50s the shine did have a rectangular shape to it.

Hi, I was happy to find I caught this last night while trying to get some milky way shots with my dodgy kit lens from my backdoor. So I made a small giff. Timestamps were 0120. Hope you don't mind me posting it here.

Nice one, shame it ruined one of my subs from last night. Looked like the Death Star cruising past.

What sort of skycam do you have Billy?

Its a home made contraption but the camera in it is a ZWO ASI 178 colour withg an Arecont 180º lens.

Just noticed your website and stumbled upon Mitzi. I had a red Mark III from 1971 (J reg) and loved that little car. Not a bit like Mitzi though. Sadly mine expired a few years ago after I sold it to a guy who drove it into the ground and never put in any oil! It's probably now a fridge!

That's unforgivable !!! There aren't that many left now esp. the early ones.
