Aeromoe's Version of Joe Orman's Naked-Eye 100 List


Number 95, Page 2: Photos of International Space Station Passes


Since I started the Naked Eye-100 endeavour in July 2010, I've found enjoyment in photographing the International Space Station during visible passes.

My favorite tools for predicting satellite passes are the Heavens Above and Cal Sky websites. I also like to track the satellites using the Real Time Satellite Tracking website.
All are invaluable tools for the satellite observer and I thank the authors of those websites for maintaining them.
