I accepted the challenge and after an exhaustive session I managed to observe and image all four ISS passes in one single night. This is a new record for me. Here is a montage with times in BST... tinypic.com/view.php?pic=4qzlwfl |

Well done Martin! I only saw #1 which was in and out of clouds - after that the cloud cover increased although there was some clarity inland - over the sea where the NLCs would appear was 100% so I had an early night for a change :-)

Hi Martin, You made the IAA news with that one!  My meteor camera picked up on some of the passes. One thing I have noticed about these ISS passes over the years is that the thing is so much brighter now! Robert. |

It is indeed brighter as more is added to it isn't it Robert? The feat that astonishes me, and I haven't managed this one yet, is the photos from the ground with amateur 'scopes that show structure and detail in the station!
Clear skies,
Paul.

Yes Paul I am sure it is due to its increase in size. Hmm just had a thought, i could have done a brightness comparison between the years, as I have images from each year, although maybe I deleted them  I do delete the vast majority of satellite videos, even if it's the ISS. The interesting thing is, with these passes is that its always the same orbit. It always cuts through the bottom left corner of the video, year after year, gotta love those gyros! Robert. |

Thanks very much Robert. I am hoping to catch one of these ISS flares soon!
