    Feb 19 2012. The International Space Station (ISS) 1845hrs pass over UK skies. The super bright ISS travelling at 17,500mph flies over the more sedate 70mph motorway traffic at Lutterworth, Leics. A different off-level composition. To capture this photo I was perched on top of a motorway bridge and placed camera on tripod shooting a succession of 10s exposures. The final composite contains approx 25 images and stacked using StarStax software. Captured with Olympus E3, 7-14mm, F4, 10s, ISO 250.

    18/19th Feb 2012. Mesmerising startrail from a very clear night in sth Leics. Targeting the celestial north pole star (polaris) via an apex from a building and using a 12mm focal length (12-6mm SWD) resulted in this wonderful spinner. Over 9hrs of earths rotation shown visibly through the stars spinning. Captured with Olympus E5 15s exposures shot continuous all night and kept from freezing over with dew/heat shield. Over 2000 images imported to StarStax which produced this final composite. Mesmerising :-)
