The Hubble Space Telescope passes through the constellations of Eridanus, Caelum, Columbus and Canis Major. Too much cloud for a spectacular view of HST, and the brightness was almost constant, unlike last night’s appearance over Brisbane, when its brightness flared to nearly twice as bright as Sirius, the brightest star in the sky. Still, with drifting moonlit cloud, it made for a reasonably pretty view.
The trail of HST is faint, and dissapears almost vertically into the tree on the left. The 2 brightest stars are Sirius at left, and Canopus at right.
To find out when you can see Hubble, the International Space Station, or other satellites, go to Heavens Above (make sure you enter your location, in the Configuration section at the top).
Exposure 195s, f4.5, ISO-400. Canon 30D, Super Takumar 20mm.
Thanks for the info…. How do you doing…Duncan? This is a precious testimony of a different rain. I do not know anything about astronomy, but I do love its photographies…space, is like the vast Soul of Life. Hugs. Rosa
Hi Rosa, I’m fine, just not around here very much – not many pictures to upload. Hope all’s well in Bilbao :)
