International Space Station Pass

For the first time I have just watched the ISS from my garden! An amazing sight...it is 10.25 and still light, but the ISS is very bright and is easily seen. I took some photos with my 350D, but I couldn't hold the camera still enough, all I can see are random trails from the ISS.
What is even more amazing is that in 2 hours time the Space Shuttle Atlantis is about to launch from Cape Canaveral to dock with the ISS and add on new parts. I really wish I could take a decent image of the station...even better with the Space Shuttle attached!
The next pass is at 23.56pm travelling West to East. I will try again to capture some images...fingers crossed!
