Sky at Night

Startrail with a couple of Leonids captured on the evening/morning of 16th/17th November 2009. Height of the Leonid meteor shower and disappointed only to capture a couple. Set up Olympus E3 with 7-14mm lens on tripod, 15s exposure, F4.0 and captured continuous from 2100hrs on 16th through till 0700hrs on 17th. 9 hrs of earths motion, 2000 images put together in startrails software. Nice to capture the opposite curvature of the trails above and below the celestial equator.

International Space Station (ISS) captured passing the Leics, UK skyline 2100hrs_10 Sep 09. Jupiter can be seen just to the right of the lit tree and below the path of the ISS. Really pleased with the capture. The ISS came into view to the sth and it looked like a fireball as it moved twds the Eastern earth shadow. In the sky. F3.5, 213s ISO 200 captured with Oly E3 & 8mm fisheye.
