Beautiful ISS pass

[george7378]

Tonight's ISS pass was amazing - mag. -3.5 and almost directly overhead. The first image here is the beginning of the pass with the station brightening up and flying over the silhouette of the house. The second is maximum altitude with the ISS shining at its brightest. I'm really pleased with these images, especially since they were taken with a compact camera!

Was a good view up here too, just a little cloud.

I have never seen the ISS before and from your description and images it looks pretty spectacular.

Thanks for the comments. It turns out that the Progress was visible in the photo if you really tweak the levels:
