International Space Station

This is a 15 sec exposure of the International Space Station on Monday evening, 2018 December 10 at 18:44 EST

This was a 71 deg pass overhead, coming from the NNW, moving from down to up.

Aboard is David Saint-Jacques.  He  is the third Canadian to complete a long-duration mission aboard the Station. He flew to space in December 2018 to spend six and a half months in orbit as a member of Expedition 58.

We tried to image the station while another spacecraft was approaching it to dock, but we have had cloud for months now and this was one of the only opportunities we have had since September.
