Photo of ISS and Discovery

[digitalight]

Ok. This is my first time trying to photograph the ISS. Been planning it for a couple of days because of the special event of Discovery's last visit.

I used 10'' Newtonian Skywatcher with Pentax K20D connected directly to telescope. Used ISO 400, 1/125 sec.

I am just over the moon with how this has come out!

The only editing I have done is reduce exposure highlights because I didn't really have an idea of what exposure would be right. The shuttle was really this close to ISS. Amazing and something we will never see again.
