International Space Station and Space Shuttle
This image comprises of 3 seperate exposures showing the trail of the International Space Station (ISS) while joined with the Space Shuttle, on 14th July 2006.
Taken facing east just before sunrise you can see the twilight glow. Also visible is many stars including the easily distinguished Orion's Belt (3 stars in a neat row).

ISS - North
This shows the International Space Station (ISS) passing from North to over-head on it's way South.
In the image you can make out the gap between the exposures, each exposure being 30 seconds. You can also see it brighten, being faintest close to the horizon.
This image was taken at the ASWA Astro Camp, March 2006.
I didn't exepct to take any images of the IIS but when someone on the field yelled out that it was appearing and I was standing there with my camera on a tripod

ISS - South
The second of 2 images showing the ISS passing overhead at the ASWA Astro Camp - March 2006.
This image comprises of 3 30 second exposures, you can see the gap between the exposures. There is a large gap at the top becuase it didn't occur to me immediately that I should turn my camera around and take shots of it, I was just staring at it fly overhead (oops).
Interestingly you can see the Milky Way and just make out the Coal Sack near the Southern Cross. Not bad for a 30 second

ISS Flyover, Feb 2008
The International Space Station is photographed flying over Perth in February 2008. Rising in the NW, moving overhead and setting in the SE.
Long exposures mean the ISS shows as a trail. The breaks in the trail are due to gaps betwen exposures.
