Description

Here is what i have to say! this was an effort to capture the ISS flying over my house! I Did not realize that i was shooting 400 iso, which in this case was one of those Bob Ross Happy mistakes! streak in the center was the ISS ( I knew to look WNW and at 85 degrees of elevation) I did not think that it would appear in the middle of the frame. After looking at the image i noticed the bright cluster (Pleiades open cluster) directly over the middle of the house. the brightest star in the cluster is Alcoyne, and the clustur is part of the constellation Taurus! I am actually pleased with this image! I know that there is a lot of noise, but there are also a lot of stars! :) I wasnt going for an artistic long exposure here. I wanted to document the international space stating flying over my house!
