    Hello,
    
    In June & July I spent a few nights walking with my camera & tripod through
    the town of Leiden, to try to catch some bright Iridium flares & the series
    of favorable ISS passes around the third week of July on photo. For those
    interested, some of the results can now be seen at url:

    Besides ISS & Iridium over (a.o.) the old Leiden Observatory, there is also
    a picture of a zenith-pass of Lacrosse 4 (this picture was taken out of my
    window, simply by lying the camera flat in the window-frame). These are
    scans of the printed color slides, not scans of the slides directly.
    
    I discovered that this is actually a very nice kind of 'urban
    astronomy'.   :-)
    
    regards,
    
    - Marco
