ISS Pass #1 (June 4-5, 2013)

A midnight pass of the Space Station, at 12:18 am June 5, 2013, with the sky still bright with twilight to the north and a low aurora. This is a stack of 4 x 2 minute untracked exposures with the Sigma 8mm lens at f/3.5 and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 2000. Thus the star trails. The gaps are from 1 second intervals between exposures. The view is looking south – Scorpius and Sagittarius are on the horizon at bottom. Polaris is at upper left. The ISS traveled from right (west) to left (east).
