Title: ISS Through The Clouds & Altair

Not a brilliant image of the ISS tonight through the clouds and Altair, hoping the sky will clear for the next transit due at 11:27PM.

Love the movement of the clouds and the ISS, really a nice backdrop for your scope. We had a very bright twilight pass last evening, about -3.3, I called my wife out to look. I was wondering how long, if ever, it would be until a U.S. ship approached the ISS again. Thanks for sharing Anton.

I like it alot Anton, can't beat the contrasting warm and cold colours along with moving clouds to compliment a night sky scene - very attractive image  :)
