International Space Station, July 11, 2009 (about 12:28 am on July 12), with Canadian astronaut Bob Thirsk aboard (Julie Payette was supposed to have lauched this night and have been chasing the ISS in Endeavour). Series of 20s exposures 1s apart, stacked. ISO 800 at f/3.2 with 16-35mm zoom lens and Canon 5D MkII.
The paths of the Space Station and Space Shuttle almost superimposed on each other but appearing in the sky a minute or so apart as they rose out of the west, with the Shuttle chasing the ISS. Venus and Jupiter are in close conjunction low in the southwest at left. This was with the Canon 20Da camera and 15mm Canon full-frame fish-eye lens at f/2.8, for a set of 19 exposures of 15 seconds each. A composite from downsized JPG originals only.
