Summary

[edit]
Description

Space Coast, did you #SpotTheStation and NASA Astronauts NASA Astronaut Randy "Komrade" Bresnik and Joe Acaba earlier this (Sunday) evening? It was visible tonight for about 3 minutes, starting at 8:14 pm (ET). You can see it here as the series of 5 streaks in the sky, as it travels from left to right, climbing to about a 57-degree altitude before it faded from view. Keen observers will see the SpaceX #SES11 #Falcon9 first stage, which was just this morning brought into port after successfully landing a second time, most recently on the "Of Course I Still Love You" droneship. Of note: The inaugural use of this Falcon 9 first stage was to carry supplies to the International Space Station as part of the CRS-10 mission.

Technical details: This is a composite of five 30-second exposures, all shot at ISO200 and f8 using a Rokinon 14mm wide-angle on a Canon full-frame body. It was a tad cloudy, so to deal with the clouds moving across the streak (and the motion of the boat in the foreground), I'm using the 4th frame for the background. (This is also why the movement of the stars is barely noticeable.)
