The International Space Station (ISS) made an overhead pass this morning that was caught on 4 frames of the allsky camera. These were stitched together with a small delay into an animated .gif image.
Each exposure was 90 seconds, with about a 9-10 second download interval between each exposure.
There are 4 frames with the ISS and one frame at either end without it.
We were surprised by the brightness, estimated by Heavens-above.com as mag -3.3
