Equipment: Canon Rebel T3 with 18-55mm lens and tripod. Images processed with PhotoShop.
Attendance: Ed O in Saint John, David McCashion
Objective: To observe and image the International Space Station(ISS) as it was reported to fly over our area at 2229 hrs, according to Heavens-above.com
Report:
- Thanks to Ed for letting me know about the flyover! He noticed on Heavens-above.com that there were going to be 5 flyovers of our area on this night. Ed observed all five!
- It was mostly clear earlier, just before dark, but as it got closer to the flyover time of 2229 hrs, the sky covered up with light, elongated,broken clouds, that were partially see-through.
- A full Moon, in the South East was very bright, and made the 10 second exposure images look like they were taken in the afternoon.
- The space station looks like a moving, very bright star/planet when it passes over-head.
