I haven’t been out much – my telescope had a motor go down and by the time I replaced it, I haven’t had good weather. Tonight, I caught an early evening (9:12) ISS pass with two photos – each are 30s exposures and show the station eventually going behind my neighbor’s house.
International Space Station on 5/18/10

Owen – I use heavens-above.com to figure out when the ISS will be visible at my location.
Bluezy – It’s not a vapor trail – it’s just the ISS in a 30 second exposure. Since the ISS is moving quickly it leaves a “star trail” in the image. Yes, it’s a star above the tree.

I think that I just saw the ISS pass over North West Florida close to Panama City. The time was around 6:05 – 6:10 pm, January 13,2011. If you know anything, please me know. Thanks.

If you go to http://heavens-above.com and set up your location, you can find current and past ISS passes. The ISS is really bright – it’s hard to miss.
