International Space Station and Space Shuttle Discovery
Submitted by:
Greg Dean at Sun Sep 13 05:18:02 2009 UTC
The STS-128 Space Shuttle Discovery had departed the ISS and was leading
it by about 4 minutes. The Discovery is to the left and the ISS is the
line to the right. Those are not double stars. When the Discovery
faded in the east I placed the lens cap over the lens to keep from
blowing out the photo with too much light while waiting for the ISS to
come into view in the west. I forgot that the world does not stop and
wait as well, thus two short star trails instead of one longer one.
Nikon D80, ISO 100, 18 m.m., f 4, 5 minutes
