Don't expect to see an arc or a trail - those photos were taken with a long shutter opening. It just looks like a bright star that moves across the whole sky in 2 or 3 minutes.
ReplyDeletethat was very cool - saw a fast moving star over Jerusalem - and with binoculars made out 2dots on top of each other - kinda the shape of the ISS
ReplyDeleteKY - my wife saw it as well and also reported it that it was very cool
