Go Curiosity Go!

Went last night to CE’s Jon Wood Observing Field to image the ISS and Atlantis. The pass by was still in twilight at 8:50 P.M. and the highest elevation for the pair was 31 degrees, so a lot of turbulence to dig through 
The distance at its closest point was 647 km. from my location and the final frame at least double that. The beginning frames show Atlantis sticking out on the left and than you see how the rotation angle changes as we follow the pair from the North to the SSE and its gets smaller. I now have two animated captures of the ISS with two Space Shuttles: Endeavour and Atlantis. Click on the image below for the movie and give it some time to load:
