[sarex] ISS over Northern California

There was a visible pass of the ISS this morning over northern California. It first became visible at about 50 degrees elevation looking to the south. It was a descending pass from the NW to the SE.

It was not the most ideal night time photography conditions with a full moon on the right at about 25 degrees elevation, the glow in the lower left is from the city lights of the San Francisco bay area 30 miles to the south. Even though I had the SLR mirror locked up, and I was using a cable shutter release, the tripod I used is not stable enough for this type of long exposure.
