International Space Station

The International Space Station glides through the early morning stars toward the eastern horizon on December 15, 1998. The moon glares at lower right. It was taken with a Nikon F3, Kodak PJM 800 negative film and a 24 millimeter lens at f/2.8. The exposure was about 1 minute. Check the NASA orbital tracking web site for your city's predictions. A one or two minute exposure, with a wide angle lens and high speed film will record a nice trail. As the station grows over the coming years, the trail will get brighter.
