The International Space Station I have been working on getting a good picture of this for two months. And this is the best I've got so far. This picture was taken this morning at 7:25 just before the sun was above the horizon but the sky was getting pretty bright. That is why some of it is in the shadows. Maybe next time it will be a better pass over. It is very hard to get a good picture of it because it is moving at 17,500 miles an hour and the telescope must be guided by hand. At the time of this picture the (iss) was 250 miles high and 16 miles north of me.
