ONCE IN A LIFETIME
The ISS and Space Shuttle just passed directly overhead. I shot this 8 second exposure from our backyard. The ISS is the brighter one higher in the sky.

Okay, now I feel like an ass. I really thought I’d looked closely and assumed there was something wrong with the picture. I made myself look again after commenting and realized, when it didn’t scrape of with my fingernail, that that spot wasn’t on my monitor. Sorry, Daryl. |

The Shuttle line is faint. If you’re using an LCD monitor you might need to adjust the angle to get a better view. I had to tip mine down. BTW, the stars are the Big Dipper. The Shuttle line ends just below the bottom of the bowl, and the ISS line starts at the middle of the bowl. |

Yes I see your pic ok, the Shuttle too. I saw the Station in Toronto, Canada sky about Aug 18 . There is a timetable at the NASA site someplace of orbits around earth locations, so you can plan a sighting. |
