| p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · International Space Station Over Ruby Beach, ONP | |
I was at Ruby beach at Olympic National Park before sunrise to do star trails when, a few minutes into this ~9 minute exposure, I saw a bright light cross the sky. My first thought was “oh no an airplane is ruining the composition” but I quickly recognized the bright object as the International Space Station (ISS). I had seen it a few years before and it definitely stands out from the night sky. It's very bright, much brighter than Venus and relatively big, so it was easy to identify. To be sure, later that day I checked on the Internet for the ISS trajectory and sure enough the web site confirmed the location and time.
Here's a video of how I processed the RAW file: http://youtu.be/FD7L1HZiVo4
The photo was taken with the Canon 1Ds mkIII and the 24mm TS-E f3.5L mkII. ISO 100, f4.5, for 552 seconds.
