A closer crop of the Tiangong 1 Chinese Space Station (now unmanned) passing over the Western Coast of Florida this evening.
Really pleased I was able to capture this incredibly faint pass so soon after the sun had set. Magnitude was 3.9 (the ISS is normally around -3)
Tiangong 1 is now unmanned out of control. Its in a rapidly decaying orbit, and expected to either reenter or burn up sometime between Oct 17 and Apr 18.
The bright moon and fogging optics didn't help much, nor did the unforgiving bugs that have bitten my legs!
Timeline of the International Space Station. 12 years and $150 billion in the making, the ISS is finally complete and ready to reach its research potential

SL2-04-018 (June 1973) --- A vertical view of the Arizona-Utah border area showing the Colorado River and Grand Canyon photographed from the Skylab 1/2 space station in Earth orbit. This picture was taken by one of the six lenses of the Itek-furnished S190-A Multispectral Photographic Facility Experiment in the Multiple Docking Adapter of the space station. Type S0-356 film was used. The row of white clouds extend north-south over the dark colored Kaibab Plateau. The junction of the Colorado and Little Colorado rivers is in the southwest corner of the picture. The body of water is Lake Powell on the Colorado River upstream from the Grand Canyon. The lone peak at the eastern edge of the photograph south of Colorado River is the 10,416-foot Navajo Mountain. The S190-A experiment is part of the Skylab Earth Resources Experiments Package(EREP).

MSP-01 Assault Shuttle
Designed by NASA in co-operation with certain Departments of Defense from countries around the world, this shuttles main mission is to "get rid of" enemy sattelites and space stations built for spying purposes. Equipped with four rocket powered hydrogen bombs the MSP-01 can destroy two large sized or four medium sized targets on one mission.
The MSP-01 is designed to look like a non hostile shuttle, this to bypass any ships that might be defending the target. If necessary, the MSP-01 has two heavy-duty cannons that can be used to eliminate the threat of hostile ships. These cannons can shoot different types of rocket powered ammunition all with their own purpose which can be selected by the gunner.
Specifications:
- 4 liquid-fuel rocket engines with seperate resevoir tanks
- Top speed of 19550mph with all engines at full power
- Crew consists of a pilot and a gunner
- 2 cannons with up to 3 different types of ammo each (explosives, electric circuit killers, armour penetrating nerve gas capsules)
- 4 small rocket powered hydrogen bombs
- Can go from flight/stealth mode to assault mode within 15 seconds ; hydrogen bombs ready to fire within 20 seconds. Cannons can be fired at any time

My entry for the Real World Starfighter Contest. I had a lot of fun building this micro scale MOC and I think it turned out pretty good! The shuttle's hatch can open and close (as seen on the smaller pictures below the main picture).

SL2-102-900 (22 June 1973) --- The Great Himalayan Mountain Range, India/Tibet (30.5N, 81.5E) is literally the top of the world where mountains soar to over 20,000 ft. effectively isolating Tibet from the rest of the world. The two lakes seen in the center of the image are the Laga Co and the Kunggyu Co located just inside the Tibet border. Although clouds and rainfall are rare in this region, snow is always present on the mountain peaks. Photo credit: NASA
Scrapheap station is a crudely repaired and modifed MKI Human station and is the third waypoint on a hidden smugglers route through uncharted space. These hidden smuggling posts allow the Pirates to make hit, grab, and run attacks on the main shipping lanes. These outposts provide a safe haven for the pirates and smugglers to trade and sell their stollen loot on the black market as well as refuel and repair their ships.
I tried to give this one a ragged look, as if it had been destroyed and repaired numerous times with different materials, and as if parts were still missing or under repair.
STS-128 shoots off into the night sky! August 28th, 2009. 11.59 pm.
There are some days that I'm just glad I live in Florida :) This picture was taken in Maitland/Altamonte Springs.

SL3-88-222 (18 Sept. 1973) --- The metropolitan area of Chicago is encompassed in this Skylab 3 Earth Resources Experiments Package (EREP) S190-B photograph taken on Sept. 18, 1973 from the Skylab space station cluster in Earth orbit. The surrounding major cities of Aurora and Joliet, Illinois; Hammond, Gary and East Chicago, Indiana, are easily delineated. The photograph reveals the following: (1) Cultural differentiation of commercial, industrial and residential areas for use in population and social studies in micro-macro community planning and in cultural pattern studies in the improvement of urban areas. (Aurora is one of 27 census cities of interest to Robert Alexander, a principal investigator. Alexander is with the U.S. Geological Survey). (2) The transportation network with major corridors and their interchanges, primary and feeder streets for use in network analysis and in the development of models for population movement and land use projection. (3) The agricultural lands for land use identification on crop inventory analysis; airports for use in delineation of service and infringement of major man-made features that affect ecosystem balance (support to environmental impact studies). (4) Air and water plumes for use in case studies, natural and man-made differentiation of pollution sources, in support of model development and in ecosystem research studies on the effects of pollution. (5) Recreational centers for use in relating recreational centers to population centers, establishing possible demands and in development of possible future recreational centers to support the demand. All EREP photography is available to the public through the Department of Interior's Earth Resources Observations Systems Data Center, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, 57198. Photo credit: NASA
The International Space Station passes over the back garden [Not literally of course!] at a height of between 205 to 270 miles above the earth, give or take a few feet!
Flying 200 naut. mi. above Earth, astronaut Michael Gernhardt emerges from the new airlock module installed during his STS-104 Atlantis flight. Antenna extends in foreground. The large U.S. airlock can support either U.S. or Russian spacesuits. It. plus a smaller Russian airlock, allow ISS crews to conduct extravehicular activity without the shuttle present.

SL3-114-1683 (28 July 1973) --- A close-up view of the Skylab space station photographed against an Earth background from the Skylab 3 Command and Service Modules (CSM) during station-keeping maneuvers prior to docking. Aboard the Command Module (CM) were astronauts Alan L. Bean, Owen K. Garriott and Jack R. Lousma, who remained with the Skylab Space Station in Earth orbit for 59 days. This picture was taken with a hand-held 70mm Hasselblad camera using a 100mm lens and SO-368 medium speed Ektachrome film. Note the one solar array system wing on the Orbital Workshop (OWS) which was successfully deployed during extravehicular activity (EVA) on the first manned Skylab flight. The parasol solar shield which was deployed by the Skylab 2 crew can be seen through the support struts of the Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM). Photo credit: NASA
Here's Shuttle STS128 Discovery (the lower fainter path) and the Space Station (upper path) flying over about 4 minutes apart, captured as twin streaks in a single 10-minute tracked exposure on Sept 10, 2009. The ISS and Shuttle were traveling from west to east (right to left).
The camera tracked the stars so the Milky Way is well recorded. Jupiter is the bright object at bottom. Notice how the two satellite trails fade out just left of the Milky Way, caused by the Shuttle and ISS each fading into Earth's shadow at that point. The astronauts would have see the Sun set behind the Earth from their vantage point. Compared to the Sept 9 flyover image, the sky is much darker as the craft came over 30 minutes later when twilight had ended.

Having missed the Space Station and Monument, at least I managed to point the camera in the right direction as it heading off to the East
Was out photographing planets, planes & stars and what should come by but the ISS and a mysterious follower. I barely managed to capture it and later found out this must be the SpaceX Dragon space freighter catching up to the ISS as they have now met up early this morning.
That bright object on the far right is Jupiter. Two long exposure photos combined.
