Actually I will be able to catch it for the next few mornings just before sunrise. MY's next available time to see it is 8:27pm local time, THIS saturday evening. GET YOUR CAMERAS & Tripods READY!!! Event times as follows: Saturday Night 8:27pm looking SSW 10 degrees above the horizon it will appear. 2mins 48sec later it will be positioned in the SE, 53 degrees above the horizon, then at 8:30 in tghe Eastern sky (49 degrees up) it will dissappear into the earths shadow (represented by the dotted line in the pic. Attached are KL's VISIBLE pass times for the next few days and a map of the ISS flight path for saturday night. This info and a WHOLE lot more is available at http://www.heavens-above.com/ Register (FREE) then get your location, and you can find the ISS as well as a plethora of other satellite flight stuffs. PS..... I will try photos for the next few passes, although it will be with wide ange lens. EDIT: Times are in 24hrs and Brightness (Magnitude i.e. Mag) is given by: -1 is 10X brighter than 0 and 100 times brighter that 1 and so on and so forth. Negative numbers brighter than positive..... |

I know it would be tougher than that. You would have to catch it just at a time that the sun is reflecting off of it. I have seen them "pop into" view in full daylight before. Great shot of the moon!!! I need to buy some lunar filters for my tele. It is just way to brite with out them.![]() |
