Can you find the ISS in these pics?

These pics are just incredible... and yes, the ISS is in both of them... it's just not the most interesting part of the pics.

International Space Station - I see it 11/12 o’clock in top, 9/10 o’clock on bottom.

I have a guess that I think is right from previous reading and it would be speed related to capture the image. We all occasionally see a satellite wizzing the sky, imagine catching one of those with moon behind it.

Not only moving fast, but I wonder how often you could even line up a shot?

A guy in Sacramento shot both of these from his own backyard.

Seriously? Wow! How do you even get started on something like that?

It's moving so fast you get like, 6 chances per night. Dedication is the key.

That is freaking incredible. Thanks for sharing.

Haha. Wow.

Haha. Wow.

Your response scared me and I thought I might have been wrong. I checked. It orbits the earth every 92. Depending on the definition of "night" 6 times might be too many, especially during the summer. But it's several times per night.

It really is cool. Thanks for adding your thoughts.

If you knew where to point your lens you could then use an intervalometer to trigger your camera at the appropriate time. That's how I would try and do it.

It looks like a tie fighter lol.
