Hello: Last night here in Halifax, Nova Scotia - N44^ 63' W63^ 36' "Zarya" ( ISS ) came off the SW horizion at 0122 UT and by 15 degress alt was about 2 mag. It made it's way towards the Moon and I was ready with my camera and 135mm telephoto, it passsed just to the north-east of the Moon, about a Mare Crisium width! It was about -0 magnitude and had a slight reddish tinge to it. Now to see how the image came out... I had only 400 ASA film in the camera and stopped the lens to f/4. Moon was 10 days old so I figure an overexposed image and hopefully a trail. -- Clear skies --------------- Michael Boschat Royal Astronomical Society of Canada - Halifax Center My astronomy page: http://www.atm.dal.ca/~andromed ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
