International Space Station Flyover

Since there is so much interest in space flight and astronomy right now, I figure this might be a cool picture to put up as well. The other day the ISS and docked Space Shuttle Atlantis made a visible pass over Omaha, almost directly overhead. I have seen the ISS many times in the past, but rarely in a directly overhead pass with such clear weather. I broke out the camera, and braved the cold fingers and managed to catch the ISS /Atlantis passing overhead, right near the moon. This is a time delay exposure, around 8 or 9 seconds worth.

Sweet Jay.
Those are great pictures.
You'll have to mention sometime how easy it is to get the shuttle flyover times...
