ISS. artificial astronomy

Post by etiqi » Wed Oct 27, 2010 9:04 pm

hello!

Today I've tried to take a picture to the International Space Station. As I checked, From Palamos (Girona, Catalonia, Spain), ISS was visible at magnitude -3,6!! So let's go! At 20:10 local time I was ready. ISS should appers by the horizon between Sagitarius and Ophiucus, rise to Aquila and finishes in Pegasus. And it was!!

Here is my picture, one 260 seconds exposition (time ISS took to cross the sky), with Canon EOS 400D and a fisheye Falcon 8mm lense at 5.6 and 80ISO
