This time with the shuttle docked. I got out there a little early to see a little of sunset.
The pass was about half an hour after sunset so the sky was still a little light. Therefore, I used a low ISO and a shorter exposure. After taking several shots during the pass, this was my favorite.
We have really good passes here Tuesday and Wednesday. The monsoon is taking a break, so I might have a shot at them (although the seeing is still not that good here).
If you want to see if they will pass over your area, you can use Heavens-Above or Space Weather's Simple Satellite Tracker. Unfortunately, Racine does not look favored for these passes.

Thanks Hale. I got to see it Friday night and then last night it was just too cloudy to see.
Did get the schedule so I might try again tonight. Although Mother nature may have other plans tonight as it looks like rain.

Mary: Was that in OK, or NM?
Back from NM Toad. Sigh.......
I live vicariously through your pictures, Hale. :)
I'm very tempted to use Paint to add a little white streak to a picture I've taken of the night sky.
