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 > This Startrail was captured using my 2nd camera on March 29th 2009 in my backyard, Leics at the same time as the landscape image previous. For the first time in a long time clear skies were forecast all night. I set my Olympus E3 camera with 7-14mm wide angle lens and left it running all night. 15s exposures on continuous shoot. Nearly 1500 images stacked and placed on a single layer in Startrails.de software. Probably one of the most impressive duration startrails I have attempted. 6 1/2 hours of slpendid earth rotation effected by the startrail.
markhumpage > Startrail captured on March 29th 2009 in my backyard, Leics. For the first time in a long time clear skies were forecast all night. I set my Olympus E3 camera with 8mm fisheye lens in an adjacent field on tripod. Rigged up the extension lead to provide continuous power and left it running all night. 15s exposures on continuous shoot. Nearly 1500 images stacked and placed on a single layer in Startrails.de software. Probably one of the most impressive duration startrails I have attempted. 6 1/2 hours of slpendid earth rotation effected by the startrail.
