Iss 18:53 pass 20/03/2009

[Kai]

A bit trickier than the other night as it was still fairly light outside , still managed to get 3 images over 3 constellations. 30 second exposures @ iso 100 Canon 450d with std 18-55mm lense

[Doc]

[Psychobilly]

Nice one Kai

[Doc]

Just seen the 20.28 fly pass and what struck me was how bright it was.

[Kai]

I know and that was meant to be Mag 0.8 !!! ,Tommorow nights one at 7.20 should be nice as well at mag 2.3 and nearly overhead

Is the Shuttle still hooked up to ISS?

Ron.

[Doc]

I think it is Ron.

[Dangerous-Dave]

Cracking, well captured mate.

[Tiny]

Nice photos Kai.

I read this pass was at -1.2. Passing Sirius that seemed about right. But the mud up there made seeing of any sort apart from bright stars difficult.

On the later pass we had bins and, before I had to give up due to twisted neck, I found the ISS was still visible in them long after it had faded out to the eye. Has anyone found how much past eyeball eclipse bins can see it?

Well caught Steve. Missed this one, but I watched the later flyover with the kids.
