Details:
In very transparent skies noctilucent clouds appeared quite bright above the eastern horizon. During the first series of images I discovered that the ISS was approaching that area. Although I had mounted a fish-eye lense on the camera, the next series of pictures were able to catch the ISS clearly. Each image is exposed 2 seconds, ISO=200, f=5.6, 10-22 mm lense zoomed in to 22 mm. The ISS passed almost ahead over the Netherlands at its 25544th pass. For me it was an unexpected opportunity to combine both things. Noctilucent clouds have been observed and imaged from the ISS in beautiful way, but now they are combined together from another perspective, very down to Earth. To create a better view of the ISS, the animation is a part of the original wider view of the sky and is also enhanced in contrast a bit. Camera Canon 20D.
