International Space Station and the Shuttle 2009.

I noticed on the news that the Shuttle would be passing Bradford at 7.35 pm on the 18th of March 2009, so I thought I'd have a go at photographing it as it passed over our home. I visited a website called  http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/cities/view.cgi?country=United_Kingdom&region=England&city=Bradford and tried to work out where it would appear from in relation to our house. At 7.30 pm I set my camera up in the back garden and awaited arrival as it was a nice clear nightsky. The Shuttle arrived on time but unfortunately was slightly too low in the sky to get a decent picture. I would have been better off going into the front garden, anyway here is my first shot of the shuttle going over Wibsey in England. The red arrow points to the thin white trail.

Underneath is another picture taken on March 12th 2010 @ 7.09pm, it seen passing a couple of stars, as you can see it is geting brighter.

Back to Space and time.
