Shot from my driveway April 3rd.
Sony A 7r iii, FE 200-600mm w/ 1.4tc, tripod + gimbal.
1/640, f9, iso 800, 840mm.
30° to 35° elevation so ~500 miles distant.

Edit: no dl, it falls apart pretty fast.

I got it quite by accident when trying to shoot a planet alignment.
I thought I'd gotten some darned aireoplane.
But close work with Stellarium nailed down the lid on it.

If you haven't tried Stellarium, you're in for a treat. It not only runs the night skies, but you can click up the speed (time) and see the satellites crossing.

Very impressive capture. The astronauts will be thrilled that they photo bombed your night sky.

Thanks for stopping by SonnyE, I watched your video. Very cool.
Actually I saw it when you first posted it as well, the ISS has always fascinated me.

Thanks guardineer, hey, maybe I can sell them each a copy.
And there’s at least six of them right now!

Thanks for the Stellarium link. Will be perusing it.

Nice capture! You should email it to the folks on the ISS.

Thanks, I might actually do that! Good idea.

I've grown to use maybe 10% of what Stellarium has to offer. I use it as my Planetarium program, and it can run my mount and telescope to take me anywhere I want to go in the Universe.
Like most good programs like it, it is beginning to be too big for it's britches. I don't like bloated programs.
I've gotten quite use to getting just specific programs and side-stepping ones that try to be everything for everybody.
But Stellarium can be a lot of fun. And it never rains or gets cloudy in Stellarium.
