Venus and Moon Conjunction with the ISS was created by Seanie_Morris
Hi all,

Yesterday morning (2nd) offered a chance to get the ISS pass relatively close to the conjunction of Venus and the Moon. Skies were clear and pristine when I got up at 6:45am. And guess what, as the ISS was due to come up from the southwestern horizon clous crept in to the eastern horizon, just where the 2 celestial bodies were!

Anyway, here's a sample of what I got:

By the way, the ISS makes a few passes in the coming days quite close to these 2 celestial bodies. Check out www.heavens-above.com to see the track for each pass and see the one that suits best if you want to try a shot.
