I got out and got some pics. I am just going to post them all in sequence here. The first pics was a shorter exposure time. I like it better. I lengthened the exposure time to try and get longer trails. Unfortunately, I didn't go anywhere, just outside my townhome and the church parking lot across the street really lit up the sky on the longer exposures. I did get the shuttle and ISS passing into Earth's shadow. In these pictures, west is to the left and they were moving to the east. Watch in the last images as they both fade out.

At first I thought the street light was the 'path'. Wow it made a right hand turn on a dime!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteSassa, initially, I thought the the same thing. I thought maybe he moved the camera. Lol. It appears with the two lines, the shuttle and the ISS actually were separated already.
ReplyDeleteThe streetlight you see is across the street and is just being installed. It is not activated yet. They are widening the street from two lanes to four where I live. That is also where the streetlights used to end. Now that they are widening the road, streetlights are being installed. Even though they are the well designed dark sky friendly lights, it will soon get brighter where I live :(
ReplyDeleteNice pictures!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pics, hale.
