Low Rider

The International Space Station (ISS) had a low path in the night sky as seen from Bowman Woods Park in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on Friday, April 25, 2014, so its brightness was not that impressive. This minute-plus exposure at f/9, 200 ISO and 18mm focal length captured the track as it moved right-to-left in the SW sky, passing just under the -1.47 magnitude star Sirius at center. The partially hidden constellation Orion is visible at right. Photograph was taken around 9:16 PM CDT. Air temperature was 58 degrees F.
