The Plaskett at Work
Can you find the ISS in this image? Following the public event at the CU on Saturday evening I witnessed a very bright ISS pass over Victoria. I set up my camera by the Plaskett Dome wanting to capture both the ISS and building. This image was the result of this effort…but where is the ISS? Answer: A small portion of the light streak left by the ISS can be seen in the top right corner of this photograph (by the tree branch).
