Jim,

I'll take your word for it! And I'm not being a smart alec. I wouldn't know how to recoginize the ISS compared to the other stars out there!

I do remember as a youngster, observing Satelittes in the sky. Mostly recognized by their movement and brightness compared to the stars.

 

I admire not only the lens capabilities, but your ability with it here too!

Quite a feat I'd expect!


Regards always,

Jim j.

great shot, with interesting enough details.

question! Any place where I can find out when these come close to Venus or Jupiter (optically), to get a shot of the juxtaposition?

James,

It is often announced on evening news when the ISS will pass over the Boston area.  I saw an announcement which gave the specific time.  After about 2 dozen shots, tweeking manual focus each time this one was relatively sharp.

 

The International Space Station appears as a very bright star, taking about 2-3 minutes to pass overhead. It often slowly disappears into earths shadow during a pass.

 

There are Web sites which list locations and times when ISS can be seen.
