Hi, We've been enjoying some warm weather and clear sky in the UK for the last day or so. This has come at just the right time for a series of early morning ISS passes. The first of these was 04:00 UTC 24th May and we obtained our best images yet. No time to do much image processing yet but the raw pictures are at http://www.btinternet.com/~mikejtyrrell/iss.htm and http://freespace.virgin.net/philip.masding/ The station displayed distinctly different attitudes during the pass. We are setting up for another attempt in a few hours time subject to the weather and ability to go to work with virtually no sleep! As a sideline have also observed the following Iridium flares (as predicted by HA) - hope to have 35mm pictures of some of these in due course 22nd May 21:58 UTC Iridium 20 Mag -7 22nd May 22:03 UTC Iridium 3 Mag -1 23rd May 22:06 UTC Iridium 25 Mag -2 24th May 22:00 UTC Iridium 47 Mag -4 This last one was given as 26deg Alt by HA but seemed to be more like 35-40 deg (the camera missed it as a result!)
