ISS and Meteor got it :)

[Beyond_Vision]

I decide to stay up and take a snap of the ISS on it's 12.34 pass. I was taking an image of the ISS towards the east as it was starting to dim down I had the shutter open for 20s and during the shot a really bright meteor came close to the area of the ISS going downwards to from the SE to the East. Rushed in grabbed my card reader and bingo I had got it

There was a bit of thin cloud and a Full Moon trying it's best to spoil it but it can be seen towards the bottom middle of the frame. The exposure was 20s. The meteor was quite bright but as you can see no where near as bright as the ISS

Well done Kevin, I am so glad you got the shot. It will be a good souvenir of seeing the very same thing.

[Stu]

That's great, glad someone else saw it. Whereabouts are you? I saw it in Walton on Thames, seemed quite orange and left a trail but was quite high overhead. I assume it was the same one?

[Beyond_Vision]

I am near to Gloucester it was a nice bonus to seeing the ISS. Shame I didn't have my 10-20mm sigma lens on at the time, that would have got it all in the frame easily.

If you'd have kept the exposure going for another 20seconds you would have seen this:

Isn't it great how an Impulse to get the camera out, can result in an added bonus. If you had delayed a few seconds you would have missed the meteor.

It's a great image, and I wish I could have seen that pass, but clouded out again up here after such a lovely sunny day.

I ran the pass in Starry Night, and the screen grab shows Delphinus beside the ISS, almost the same position as your pic. Kev.

No Meteor obviously:D.

What settings do you use to capture the stars like that?

Now that would have been some feat capturing it going backwards

Very nice Kevin! I missed the meteor, but saw the pass - a glorious sight.

[Beyond_Vision]

What settings do you use to capture the stars like that?

Lens Sigma 17-35mm set to 17mm F4, Exposure 20 Secs at ISO800 using a tripod and cable release.

They thought they'd left the house unlocked then remembered they locked everything up before going on holiday.

You lucky so and so

Brilliant capture. I watched the ISS pass at 12.34 and saw a mag -1 meteor come in from the WSW into around the area of Sagitta while the ISS was in Cygnus. Not sure if it is the same meteor as you captured, but it is one of those times that I'll remember as it was quite beautiful to see

Yes that would be the same one

Nice capture Kev.... Always nice to get a bonus meteor in the frame...

Like the Spaceobatics in the extended image

I saw the ISS visually and was amazed how long it took to get from horizon to horizon at my location.
