The International Space Station streaked overhead at approx. 17,500 mph and I managed to capture this small part of it's global circuit as it went over the top of our house from West to East at 22:03.
It's just a shame that I wasn't quick enough to get it as it entered the frame at top-right rather than just 'appearing'.
ps. Exif is one hour behind, I have since changed my camera to BST. (I always forget to change the camera time setting at the BST and GMT) The date was 26th though.
That's beautifully taken, I really like it.
You are right about the bricks landing on you out of nowhere! Thanks for your kind message, I really appreciated it.
@jon_lip So I signed up for the text alerts, started getting them with great data on long passes almost directly overhead...but we have solid overcast.

Clever though they maybe, I think that controlling the weather is beyond even thier capabilities, however..... watch this space! (no pun intended)

But you could have told us it was coming from the opposite direction and you captured it as it appeared over your roof. I, for one, would believe you.
Thanks Tim, however, it would not sit comfortably with me... Maybe I'll do a better job at the next opportunity? BTW I get notifications of ISS passes from an auto-generated email system from NASA!

This is also a good site (if not better) https://www.heavens-above.com
You'd think NASA could do better ;-)
