International Space Station, April 2, 2023

Sunday evening, the International Space Station reflected the sunlight as it rose from the horizon and exited the frame stage left as seen from Wakefield School in The Plains, Virginia. Also in the sky were the planets, Mercury (on the horizon), Uranus, Venus, and Mars. Several stars and clusters are also labeled. This is a composite of 10, 30-second exposures, stabilized with an equatorial tracker, plus the ground as a separate shot.
