Hi all ,

A quick post to remind everyone that it is possible to image both ISS and Discovery in daylight.


Over the last week or so I have managed to capture fleeting glimpses of the station and yesterday Discovery too , even with a sun elevation of 37 degs (also saw ISS an orbit earlier with sun at 50 degrees )

Will ISS ever be a true naked eye daytime object ? I'm not sure . Perhaps if it reaches mag -6 ( which it may do if the latest Energia plans go ahead ) then possibly so.

Thanks John, for showing the day time photo, infact this is much difficult to tress the image in day time, because the sky is full of bright sunlight, and sometime the clouds also gives trouble to the ground observers, but you really did the marvelous job here, that's too much commendable.

no one yet before has shown such sort of image.

Hi Sunil , yes clouds are the biggest problem especially here in the UK.
I live near the coast , which means that tidal cloud also plays a part.

Very often I spend over an hour preparing for imaging under a clear blue sky only to find that cloud sweeps in from "no-where " just before the event !
