ISS & STS118 Pass
I've just watched as they both graced our skies here in Cambridgeshire,
stunning! Hope some of you guys had your cameras pointing sky wards, let us know if you got any good pics. Clear Skies Andy -- Mr Andrew R Green B.Sc(Hons) FRAS. Fellow Royal Astronomical Society Director & Resident Astronomer StarDome, Director Anglo-Australian Astronomy Education Partnership |

Fellow Royal Astronomical Society Director & Resident Astronomer StarDome, Director Anglo-Australian Astronomy Education Partnership Yes, excellent!. It's the first time I have seen the Shuttle. I was out in the garden last night and just happened to see ISS pass over. So this evening I realised that the Shuttle must be closing in on ISS so I checked the times and there it was. I don't suppose that it happens too often that we see the Shuttle in the chase. We are lucky that it happened whilst we are in an excellent window of visibility. Just a shame they weren't a bit closer to each other. They'll be docked by the time we get tomorrows passes. Paulus |

ISS & STS118 Pass
Hi Andy and the group,
I've just watched as they both graced our skies here in Cambridgeshire, stunning! Hope some of you guys had your cameras pointing sky wards, let us know if you got any good pics. Clear Skies Andy Had a great view with several family scattered across a 5 mile radius all alerted and saw them come over. Have just uploaded to my 'recent images gallery' a flash animation of the 4 images of the ISS then 3 images of the Shuttle passing over. Canon 300d & 18mm lens, ISO 800 and 30 seconds at F3.5 http://www.astrospace.co.uk/gallery/...nt-images.html Enjoy! Regards Paul M -- For my web site - Astrospace go to http://www.astrospace.co.uk For Astro holidays that are outathis world go visit the following: Fieldview http://www.fieldview.net/ COAA (Algarve) http://www.coaa.co.uk/index.html |

Paulus First time I've ever seen them together - definitely unusual as there are only a few days in the mission when the shuttle is not docked, and of course these have to coincide with suitable viewing opportunities as we're right on the maximum latitude the orbit crosses. Oh *and* clear skies of course. Things nearly spoiled by a big cloud but thankfully it was the only one. I guess the docked ISS/shuttle pair will be even brighter if visible tonight? - Michael (Yorkshire, UK) |

ISS & STS118 Pass IMAGES
great stuff, my friend actually managed to image the ISS with it's solar
panels showing etc which he sent me 2 mins after my first post to the group. They are great pics. Just put them on one of my web sites, have a peek: http://www.collectspace.co.uk/iss%20pass.htm Glad you got time to take the images Paul I like the trail. I don't get time to do any astro-photography at all nor that much observing these days as I am too busy but glad you guys do. Great pics Thanks Andy -- Mr Andrew R Green B.Sc(Hons) FRAS.
