Space Station

R. Linda:

Last night, I thought it was too bad you weren't here because the space station flew overhead, and I think you'd have found it fun to watch. But since you weren't, I put in one good picture (taken with my mobile phone, so amazing I have the detail I do) and also because a few weeks ago we were able to see a small bit of the aurora borealis (again, mobile phone photos, but not very good ones), I will stick one of those in, too.

But take heart—the station flies over me house every week or two, so you'll get to see it. So here are the space station and one Northern Lights (well, as much as I got anyway) picture.

Unfortunately, my phone did not pick up the colours, but there is a bit on the top right side.

I have not figured out how to use the zoom on me Canon. For some reason, it won't even click on telephoto. I have fiddled with the F stop and everything else. I should return to my little auto Nikon Coolpix and try that next time.
