Almost Missed It !

I knew the space station was making a pass over me tonight a little after 8:35 PM. I also knew Jupiter and the Moon would be in the frame if I did it correctly. I kept checking as the sky got darker so that as soon as I could see Jupiter I set up my camera. Basically all set now, I just had to wait a few minutes. Good thing I was all set up because I messed up on the time and as I came outside and looked up I saw the space station near Jupiter. Darn - missed the shot between the other two objects but because I had the remote in my hand I was able to fire off a shot and at least I captured this.

Wow! The space station is really moving right along. I think I like it better this way than if the space station had been between them.

I like the arrangement/composition quite well, nicely executed even if it wasn't exactly how you planned.
