Details:
Now here's a lucky shot. I didn't find out when the International Space Station was going to be visible last night, and, due to the weather forecast, I wasn't really planning to go out and photograph Comet NEOWISE. But, the skies cleared after the storm and I went out to my driveway to take a few photos of the comet. As I was in the midst of a long exposure (114s) I was also viewing the scene in my binoculars when I saw the ISS to the left of the comet. It looked like it was heading towards it, and BAM, it crossed right in front of the "head" or coma of the comet. Of course, the ISS was about 1500 Km from me, and the comet was 105 million Km away.
