Got some pics as the international space station going over my house.
Also managed to get the Jules Verne cargo supply ship which will be docking with the station soon. 30 second exposures, the fainter line joining the bright line is the Jules Verne.
Check out the Heavens above website for flybys in your area.

Very cool. I get alerts all the time. I once saw a photo of someone who tracked it with their telescope. You could actually see the detail of the station. Blurry, but it was there.

Thanks for the website link. You should post it with the photog's comments with the images.
Here is the "official" NASA link for that and much other info on man made space objects. NASA Sighting Info link

This shot has the ISS as the main trail, with the Shuttle the faint trail right behind the ISS. You can also see several major constellations.

Last Tuesday we were able to see the ATV, the ISS, and the Shuttle in the night sky. The ATV was only about 2000 km ahead of the ISS, and the Shuttle and ISS were very close together.

You mean that there is a 4 wheeler up there somewhere in orbit? I know that they left a couple of ATV's on the moon a while back. : )
