Here's the overhead pass of the Space Station with Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield on board, on Friday, Feb 15, 2013, starting at 7:50 pm MST. The ISS is the streak rising out of the west at right and moving from right to left, west to east, and fading out nearly overhead as it went into Earth's shadow for another 45-minute-long night on the ISS. The Moon is the bright object at right. This was taken with a fish-eye lens and takes in 360° of the sky.

This picture was shot with the help of www.heavens-above.com webpage and the Sky Guide app (fifthstarlabs.com) with the satellite add-on. A lucky coincidence was the airplane on the left flying by at the same time as ISS showed! It was shot after 2:45 AM in a small village called Krivoklat at Czech Republic, where I was on holidays.
PictionID:46905330 - Catalog:Bono_0149 - Title:S-IVB Space Station, early - Filename:Bono_0149.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

Wonderful reference to this particular work by the Artist himself, Donald E. Davis:
"Here is what is probably my most widely seen pre digital painting, my 'Bay Area' derived interior for a giant cylindrical habitat design. It was painted this way under the direction of space colonization popularizer Gerard O'Neill himself, who related a recent impression of the vantage point from Sausalito being an excellent scale reference for a possible setting inside a later model cylindrical colony. When this painting appeared on the cover of the 'Co-Evolution Quarterly' 1975 book 'Space Settlements' editor Stewart Brand wrote in the caption "The painting of the interior of a "Model III" cylindrical Space Colony by Don Davis appears on the cover of Space Colonies. It has inspired more belief and roused more ire than any other artifact associated with Space Colonies so far. The man-made idyll is too man-made, too idylliic or too ecologically unlikely - say the ired. It's a general representation of the natural scale of life attainable in a large rotating environment - say the inspired. Either way, it makes people jump." I deliberately wanted to imply the challenge of trying to transplant a workable ecosysyem to a giant terrarium in Space. Most other depictions are dreary mega-shopping mall like structures filling the available volume. I still consider the Space Colony option a more realistic means for establishing large population bases off the Earth rather then any Terraforming schemes, except perhaps hollowing out solid asteroids if there are any."

One last shot from last night. This is the frame before the transit image, which just shows how much the station moves between consecutive exposures!
Shot in Brisbane, Australia with a Celestron CPC 800 telescope, 0.63x focal reducer, and Canon 600D/T3i DSLR. 1280mm (cropped), 1/1600, ISO 800, F/6.3 (telescope prime focus).
CONCEPT OF A MANNED ORBITING RESEARCH LABORATORY, which has been under research study by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, is illustrated in this artist's rendering. The concept evolved from by the Douglas Missile & Space Administration under contract to the NASA Langley Research Center. Douglas engineers believe the concept could be operational within a five-year period. A Gemini-type ferry-craft approaches the orbiting laboratory, which is designed to remain in a 200 nautical-mile earth orbit for a period of a year or more.

This is a built (by someone else, long ago) model kit that I acquired, the Lindberg Space Station (this particular one is a 1970s reissue of the original 1950s kit). There are numerous parts missing, yet it still looks great for my purposes.
The "wheel" space station concept used for this kit was based on by Werner Von Braun's designs.
By the way, check out this documentary: Way Stations in Space (1961). It uses plastic models kits - especially this Lindberg space station!
Excellent, rarely published photo of the Skylab Orbital Workshop (OWS) during the initial fly-around inspection by the first crew. The dangling cabling, wires and mangled metal mark the former attach point/hinge of the lost solar array. To the left is the Airlock Module (AM) & Multiple Docking Adapter (MDA). The base of the Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM) extends perpendicularly "up" from the AM/MDA.
Note also the reflection of the earth, and a small portion of an ATM solar array and Command/Service Module (CSM), in the exposed & blistering external skin of the OWS.
~8.5" x ~11".
Lots of good Skylab info:

SL3-88-053 (July-September 1973) --- A near vertical view of the Tennessee-Virginia-Kentucky border area is seen in this Skylab 3 Earth Resources Experiments Package S190-B (five-inch Earth terrain camera) photograph taken from the Skylab space station in Earth orbit. The clock is in the most southerly corner of the picture. Interstate 81 under construction extends northeast-southwest across the bottom portion of the photograph. The larger urban area nearest the center of the picture is Kingsport, Tennessee. On the southern side of I-80 and east of Kingsport is the city of Bristol, Tennessee-Virginia. Johnson City, Tennessee is the urban area near the edge of the picture southeast of Kingsport. The Holston River, a tributary of the Tennessee River, meanders through the Kingsport area. The characteristic ridge and valley features in the Cumberland Plateau of Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia are clearly visible. Forests (dark green) occur on the ridges and clearly outline the folded and faulted rock formations. The valleys (light) were formed in the softer rocks as a result of erosion. Agricultural areas are indicated by the characteristic rectangular patterns. Coal production is an important industry of this area; and it is mined by surface open pit operations. The irregular light areas in the Kentucky-Virginia border area are the strip mines which follow the contour of the land. Reclamation of the strip mine areas is aided through accurate knowledge of the mine and drainage systems. Dr. Ronald Brooks of the Wolf Research and Development Corporation can use this photograph in study of strip mine areas in the east central U.S. Federal agencies participating with NASA on the EREP project are the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Corps of Engineers.

S73-27095 (25 May 1973) --- The Skylab 2 crew, consisting of astronauts Charles Conrad Jr., Joseph P. Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz, inside the command module atop a Saturn IB launch vehicle, heads toward the Skylab space station in Earth orbit. The command module was inserted into Earth orbit approximately 10 minutes after liftoff. The three represent the first of three crews who will spend record-setting durations for human beings in space, while performing a variety of experiments. Photo credit: NASA
This is the 1959 Revell Space Station plastic model kit.
The model I have, bought built-up, is in shabby shape. That's fine with me. It's still a tangible reminder of the one a brother had when we were kids, and in my imagination I'd be alive inside it, walking and working, and outside of it I'd be exploring or driving a space vehicle (at least three different kinds came with the model kit). That childhood imagination experience takes on a rich quality as a later adult, and continues to fuel images and stories that find their way into my SF Sonnets and other creative outlets. Photographing this beat-up-but-still-effective-to-use model of the space station and its assorted accompanying components is a pleasure when the results look as good as this one does...
A first 'attempt' at some star trails, done by using a number of photographs (all 30sec exposures) and then stacking them in PS. Not perfect because there was a delay between each shot for some reason (ok, I got the timing wrong on the camera's intervalometer - my bad). But I'm posting it up anyway because, totally unplanned on my part, NASA decided to drive their space station straight through the shot (the two long lines running from the right of the frame).
Phew, I managed docking a spacecraft to an orbiting space station. That was actually pretty hard to get right. I'm going to need to practice this if I want to make a refuelling station work.

S73-26913 (14 May 1973) --- The unmanned Skylab 1/Saturn V space vehicle is launched from Pad A, Launch Complex 39, Kennedy Space Center, Florida, at 12:00 noon (EDT), May 14, 1973, to place the Skylab space station cluster in Earth orbit. The Skylab 1 payload included four of the five major components of the space station Orbital Workshop, Apollo Telescope Mount, Multiple Docking Adapter, and Airlock Module. In addition to the payload, the Skylab 1/Saturn V second (S-11) stage. The fifth major component of the space station, the Command Service Module with the Skylab 2 crew aboard, was launched at a later date by a Saturn 1B from Pad B. Photo credit: NASA

S73-26738 (25 May 1973) --- A close-up view of the Skylab 1 space station cluster can be seen in this reproduction taken from a color television transmission made by a TV camera aboard the Skylab 2 Command Module during its "fly-around" inspection of the cluster. The numbers across the top of the picture indicate the Skylab 1 ground lapse time. Note the missing portion of the micrometeoroid shield on the Orbital Workshop. The shield area was reported to be solid gold by the Skylab 2 crewmen. A cable appears to be wrapped around the damaged OWS solar array system wing. The crewmen reported that the other OWS solar panel was completely gone, with only tubes and wiring sticking out. One of the discone antennas extends out form the Airlock Module. The Multiple Docking Adapter is in the lower left corner of the picture. A portion of a solar panel on the Apollo Telescope Mount is visible at the bottom and at the left edge. In their "fly around" inspection the crewmen noted that portions of the micrometeoroid shield had slid back underneath the OWS solar wing. Photo credit: NASA
Inside the Space Station Processing Facility high bay at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, technicians prepare the Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer, or NICER, payload for final packaging. NICER will be delivered to the International Space Station aboard the SpaceX Dragon cargo carrier on the company’s 11th commercial resupply services mission to the space station. NICER will study neutron stars through soft X-ray timing. NICER will enable rotation-resolved spectroscopy of the thermal and non-thermal emissions of neutron stars in the soft X-ray band with unprecedented sensitivity, probing interior structure, the origins of dynamic phenomena and the mechanisms that underlie the most powerful cosmic particle accelerators known.

S73-26390 (23 May 1973) --- An umbrella-like mechanical device called the "parasol," one of several sunscreen possibilities being considered for use in shading the overheated Skylab 1 Orbital Workshop, receives a checkout in the Technical Services shop in Building 10 at the Johnson Space Center. Here, the "parasol" is almost fully deployed. The "parasol" is designed to fit into the TO27 experiment photometer canister. The canopy portion of the "parasol" measures 24 feet by 22 feet. The sunshade device will be deployed through the solar scientific airlock in the side of the OWS. The "parasol" solar shield is considered the prime possibility for use as the OWS sunshade because it will not require EVA by the Skylab 2 crewmen, because of the operational ease of using it, and because of the simplicity of the device which minimizes crew training. A crash program to select a suitable solar shield was initiated after the original micrometeroid shield was apparently torn off the OWS soon after its launch by Saturn V on May 14, 1973. The OWS is one of the five major components of the Skylab 1 space station cluster which is now in Earth orbit. Photo credit: NASA
Expedition 26/27 (Kondratyev, Nespoli, Coleman) during the Russian Segment final exams. After 7 hours of "regular" simulation, the station catches fires (simulated by the smoke machine). The crew puts on oxygen respirators and scrambles to find/do the proper actions to find the source of the fire, extinguish it, and decontaminate the atmosphere.
L'equipaggio della spedizione 26/27 (Kondratyev, Nespoli, Coleman) durante gli esami finali. Dopo 7 ore di simulazione "normale", nella stazione divampa un incendio (simulato dalla macchina del fumo). L'equipaggio si dà da fare per trovare l'origine dell'incendio, spegnerlo e decontaminare l'aria.
