ISS pass over Fort Davis and a faint glimpse of Comet Yi-SWAN
Nice and bright international space station pass over Fort Davis April 19 at 6:23 a.m. local time.
Comet Yi-SWAN is in this image too, but you can’t see it. I’ll try to make a nicer comet image for y’all (I’m back in Texas so I gotta talk the talk) when I get the G8 set up and can track.
The Texas Star Party begins today….things are looking good!!!
BTW- Jupiter and the Moon were all snuggly this morning, grabbed a snap of the duo, might post it later.

Another amazing image of the ISS, Becky.
BTW: you may not wanna leave this great state, again!

A fine image again! I like those inky skies and the trace of course. I enjoy the moon and Jupiter at my early coffee. I just recently got an app (ISSLite) for my iPhone that shows the current position of the space station around the world.
