During April 2015 the International Space Station (ISS) was passing over Scotland. One evening (Sunday 12/Apr/2015 to be precise) I set up just outside of Kilchoman Church to capture a pass over Islay. Unfortunately I was interrupted by a passing car just as the ISS started to appear, but luckily managed to still capture the majority of the pass. This is a composite of 14 images covering approximately 2 minutes, hence the movement of the stars resulting in short startrails as well.

I check it almost every evening – 2-6 minutes passes on a clear night – simply outstanding. People are up there in that tiny space station… for a year! Mind-boggling for someone who remembers the first Sputnik very clearly.

+Celia Lewis I wasn’t even a twinkle in my father’s eye back then, but I’ve been listening to Public Service Broadcasting’s excellent album The Race For Space a lot recently….

+Armin Grewe – would that be online, that I could access? Sounds interesting. It was – absolutely – a race for space when I was a kid. Lots of political posturing going on…
