markhumpage > International Space Station (ISS) passing over the Lutterworth skies at 1845 hrs for a period of approx 6 mins on 14 March 2010. Magnitude was a super bright -3.2. Being so early in the evening, with strong ambient light I had to use pretty quick exposure times, at 1s, shot continuous through till 1851hrs. Hence the dashed line effect.
markhumpage > The modern day ISS flies over the Whittle memorial (Jet engine) in Lutterworth, Leics. I wonder what Sir Frank Whittle, inventor of the Jet engine, would make of the current day flight technology. Amazed no doubt. A nice touch of the old vs new. Captured with Olympus E3 and 8mm fisheye. 4 min exposure total captured in 10s increments and stacked.
markhumpage > ISS & Space Shuttle Atlantis racing across the UK skies at 1657hrs on Nov 20 2009. It was the brightest body in the twilight skies at a magnitude of -3.3. Atlantis has been docked since Nov 18th 2009 and makes a great night time subject to capture. Taken with Olympus E3, 7-14mm lens of F4.0 for a total period of 2 mins 45s (11x15s continuous exposures). I lit up with tree with a strong torch for the duration of a couple of 15s exposures. The International Space Station is the biggest, brightest object orbiting Earth. The station's solar arrays span 240-feet from tip to tip, almost as wide as a football field. The ISS outshines Venus; only the sun and Moon are brighter.
markhumpage > Russian red skies come to Leicestershire, UK Thurs 9th July 2009. Captured with Olympus E3 dslr and 50-200mm lens. In mid-June 2009, Russia's Sarychev Peak volcano erupted, hurling an enormous plume of ash and sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere. This has produced some unusually colorful sunrises and sunsets around the northern hemisphere. Purple is one of the telltale colors of a volcanic sunset. Fine volcanic aerosols in the stratosphere scatter blue light which, when mixed with ordinary sunset red, produces a violet hue. Other signs to look for include a bright yellow "twilight arch" and long crepuscular rays and shadows How do volcanoes turn the sky purple? Fine, sulfurous aerosols in the stratosphere scatter blue light. Blue mixes with ordinary sunset red to produce the lavender hue. It has been a full month since Sarychev Peak erupted and the purple is still being sighted on a regular basis from Russia, Canada, Iceland, northern-tier US states and many countries in Europe.

markhumpage > Stunning noctilucent display from 14 July 2009 Leics, UK. This was such an intense display and so early compared to previous sightings, 10.30pm. There was lots of cloud cover too but such was the intensity of the electric blues that it made hardly any difference! Taken with Olympus E3 & 12-60mm SWD

markhumpage > waxing gibbous moon, 01 June 2009. Olympus E3, 90-250mm with x2TC
markhumpage > Star trail from 24 May 2009. Another clear night so best take opportunity while have it. Approx 1000 image captured from sunset on 24th to sunrise on 25th.
International Space Station (ISS) passing over the Lutterworth skies at 1845 hrs for a period of approx 6 mins on 14 March 2010. Magnitude was a super bright -3.2. Being so early in the evening, with strong ambient light I had to use pretty quick exposure times, at 1s, shot continuous through till 1851hrs. Hence the dashed line effect.
