We have liftoff! The Lilies look a little like they’re launching rockets when they’re opening :-).

ISS 2014 #4


I was lucky last night with the ISS, this is the third of the three visible passes taken at about 01:50 CEST. Some clouds were coming in, but it was still so clear that I didn’t need to do much post-processing to bring out the trail. But this one is again a little wobbly and I have no idea why, since the camera tripod was definitively steady – maybe it has to do with atmospheric turbulences? This is actually a 161-second exposure, but I started it a little too late so the space station didn’t fly into the top of the frame. Maybe this night I’ll finally get a complete flythrough! [Edit: probably not, clouds are coming in and it’s very hazy.]
