There's a fair chunk of atmosphere in the way to the ISS which is moving very fast, its very hard to get a clean shot of it from earth.edit on 7-4-2012 by Qumulys because: (no reason given)

Why do you keep talking about ISS, there are like 20 000 other satellites out there?
Frankly, it looks like a jet to me but it is weird that it would illuminated like that.

did you take into account daylight savings time ?
It does look like the ISS if you can think in three dimensions rather than two. You have to rotate it and tilt it back to make a better comparison, but the solar panels are obvious to me.
edit to add. Kudos and thanks for sharing this.edit on 6-4-2012 by Smack because: (no reason given)
Originally posted by Qumulysalso, there is an aweful lot of noise in that pic, especially for an iso of "80". Perhaps he meant "800"? Even if he doesn't want to post the original, I wish he would at least give the full EXIF data! grrr, spank him EA!edit on 7-4-2012 by Qumulys because: (no reason given)

A ONE second exposure at that long focal length, the ISS would be a short streak. From my experience shooting the night sky, Follow me: If this is real, and it's at that focal length, a 1s exposure, and it was not being tracked by the mount, it's a geosynchronous or geostationary object. Many of them are up there.

Good work getting the info elevenaugust
But more information leads me to more questions , like he says the original picture in your OP is 7MB but the second picture taken with the same settings 5/6 seconds later 13.31MB , do we know why that would be ?
I know I'm a suspicious Sob but how do we know that the EXIF data provided is from the picture with the anomaly in it ?
