This photo was captured by Darren Griffin on February 23, 2012 from his garden in Hampshire, UK.

“I used Panasonic G2 with a 20mm lens, tripod mounted. It took me a while to spot the track as it was directly overhead and I was looking in the wrong place! Once spotted I just kept snapping 15sec exposures until it passed out of view.”

This image was taken on October 26, 2011 from Eoropie, Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides by John Gray. John used a Canon 1000D, 18mm, ISO1600, F3.5, 10sec x 22images stacked.

“The reason I only used 10sec shots was due to how bright the sky was at that time, then I could stack them and still keep the image dark and pull the ISS out of the sky.”
