This amazing event had some nice data to offer us. The optical data was provided by Levi Boggs of Georgia Tech and the ELF-VLF data was provided by Steven Cummer of Duke University. The data collected provides us with information that we can use to compare to other GJ events in the future.
This is a creation using the GE Rakesh Siege Tank designed by killswitch95 [SNRK] (Link below) that I rendered for him. Full details of that creation are also there on his page.

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
Inside a laboratory in the Space Station Processing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, LED plant growth lights are being checked out on the hardware for the Advanced Plant Habitat flight unit. The flight unit is an exact replica of the APH that was delivered to the International Space Station. Validation tests and post-delivery checkout was performed to prepare for space station in-orbit APH activities. The flight unit will be moved to the International Space Station Environmental Simulator to begin an experiment verification test for the science that will fly on the first mission, PH-01. Developed by NASA and ORBITEC of Madison, Wisconsin, the APH is the largest plant chamber built for the agency. It is a fully automated plant growth facility that will be used to conduct bioscience research on the space station. Photo credit: NASA/Cory Huston
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.
During the EVA 43 cosmonauts Sergey Ryazanzy and Fyodor Yurchikhin released the ТС530-Зеркало satellite into orbit.
It looks like a tiny alien spaceship, don't you think?

(NY21 - Aug.30) AFTER APOLLO IS ON THE MOON -- This artist's conception presents one view of what a 12 to 24 man spacecraft may look like when scientists begin to plan for space development after the Apollo landing on the moon. The target date for that project is 1970, after which may come development of space stations, flights to Mars and moon bases. This type of spacecraft would be launched in pieces and assembled in space by astronauts. Crew replacement and supplies would be brought in by smaller craft, left.

S73-31922 (1973) --- An artist's concept illustrating a cutaway view of the general arrangement of the Skylab Rescue Command Module (CM). The standard Skylab CM accommodates a crew of three with storage lockers on the aft bulkhead for resupply of experiment film and other equipment as well as the return of exposed film, data tapes and experiment samples. To convert the standard CM to a rescue vehicle, the storage lockers are removed and replaced with two crew couches in order to seat five crewmen. The rescue CM would then be launched with a crew of two. Photo credit: NASA
Hello Space Station, do you copy? Nice to see you all in video... but it'll be nicer to see you in person in two weeks!
Stazione, mi ricevete? è stato bello poter parlare con i nostri colleghi in video... di persona lo sarà ancora di più!

SL3-115-1833 (6 Aug. 1973) --- Astronaut Jack R. Lousma, Skylab 3 pilot, participates in the Aug. 6, 1973, extravehicular activity (EVA) during which he and astronaut Owen K. Garriott, science pilot, deployed the twin pole solar shield to help shade the Orbital Workshop (OWS). Note the striking reflection of the Earth in Lousma's helmet visor. This photograph was taken with a 70mm hand-held Hasselblad camera. Photo credit: NASA
X-walls from Exosphere. Make your own tech structures with this construction kit of auto-align walls.
My first attempt at the ISS with a dslr.
Looked at my watch and had a crazy couple of minutes taking the camera out of my telescope attaching the kit lens and getting it set for this shot.
Iso was a little high...as you can see I have some distant light pollution to the west which is annoying.

PictionID:46904307 - Catalog:Bono_0145 - Title:S-IVB SM 454999 - Filename:Bono_0145.tif - Philip Bono was a renowned space engineer who was probably 30 years before his time. He was born in Brooklyn, NY on January 13, 1921. He graduated from the University of Southern California in 1947 with a B.E. degree in mechanical engineering, and served three years in the U.S. Naval Reserves. After graduation in 1947, Mr. Bono worked as a research and systems analyst for North American Aviation. His first "tour" with Douglas Aircraft Company was from 1949 to 1951, doing structural layout and detail design. From 1951 to 1960, he worked primarily in structures design at Boeing. - ---Please Tag these images so that the information can be permanently stored with the digital file.---R---Repository: San Diego Air and Space Museum
