No Good ISS Tonight

These altocumulus clouds were present in the northeast sky around 9:50 PM, Tuesday, August 16, 2011 from just south of Boyson Road (background) and west of Alburnett Road in Marion, Iowa. The clouds thickened around the horizon here ten minutes later preventing a good shot of the orbiting International Space Station (ISS). This image was created by a 33-second exposure at f/6.3, 250 ISO and 18mm focal length.
