International Space Station x3 + Moon again...

I was out just before daybreak this morning (6:19 EST) and captured three shots of the ISS flying overhead.. Also another shot of the Moon with my Yashinon 200 f4 I took last night.

The ISS this morning was brighter than the brightest star in the sky, Sirius.

All shots with Sony NEX C3, ISS= kit lens @ 18mm f3.5 10 seconds and ISO 3200.

Full res crop of the first ISS shot.

Moon was the Yashinon 200 f4 @ f8 1/640 ISO 400.

I have seen telescopes that gave worse views of the Moon, Saturn has rings, Jupiter has bands and moons.

Amazing for what they are, sharper than the pictures I'm getting so far.

I think this lens has a sharper picture in it still. I'm going to keep playing I appreciate the encouragement.

Good catch on the ISS, and your moon is astonishing!

I'd print and frame that one, if I'd taken it.

Awe..

That's what I feel when I take these pictures, I feel a great deal of awe knowing I'm seeing light that left sometimes millennia before I was born.

Watching an actual space station fly over gives me awe too.

Thank you..
