Amazing Picture

When I get a chance to, I try to spot the International Space Station as it traverses the night sky. It's really cool- just a fast moving dot that zips from horizon to horizon within seconds.


Today, I found a picture on spaceweather.com taken by Freiderich Deters in North Carolina. He was able to take a snapshot of the ISS as it flew overhead. Better yet, it was taken as the space shuttle Discovery was undocking!

Taken with an 11-inch telescope. More info here.
