With certain clear weather and plenty of passes this week I had a go at capturing some images.
This one on 9 Feb was interesting because after I started the exposure I became aware of a plane coming from the opposite direction to the ISS which gave an impression of a 'head-on' collision -- the image caught this.http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2248/226 ... 9926_b.jpg

These shots capture the pass on the 12 Feb. Even with the widest angle shot I had to move camera/tripod several times to get the full pass and this is why there are small gaps. I especially like the part where the ISS appears to descend below Orion.

I don't have the technique to stitch 7 images together but I did manage to stitch two images of the pass on 13 Feb. These two images were of much longer duration than previous day (to avoid moving camera) and are not too great, but do capture the whole pass.

Some 4 images from the 12 Feb did not work on original post -- here they are.

And here's the merged pair of images of the pass on 13 Feb.

Very nice images there Conn, the ISS makes for some nice images..

Excellent shots there Conn.
You have some great skies out you way!
My fav. is the one where it cuts under Orion.
