Typically I like to go to some darker sky spot to shoot the International Space Station, but it was cold, breezy, and I was lazy. Also knowing it was going to be reflecting lots of light this evening. So, shot from my driveway in Bristow, Virginia, the Sun reflects off of the Station's solar panels as the it rose from behind my neighbors house and passed just past the lower part of the Constellation Orion before exiting the frame near the star, Gomeisa. This is a composite image of 5, 30-second exposures comprising about 2 1/2 minutes of travel.
