STS-135 and ISS captured in broad daylight

[Jaggy_Snake]

STS-135 (Atlantis) and the International Space Station were captured on film by a amateur astronomer.

It looks legit to me. Also, it's such a clear image from 210 miles away.

It's so awesome to see the last shuttle still going while it's up there.

this is really cool dude, i've seen iss before, but never footage from on earth, sick !

on bright days you can regularly see stationary reflecting dots in the sky, those are geo-stationary satellites, once you saw one you'll start spotting more on regular bases

Thats sick, I wonder if he had his camera hooked up to a telescope? Either way thats really cool to see. Its trippy how when we look at it from earth it looks like its surrounded by blue sky, but to them its all black.

I was trying to find a video of this but I couldn't so anyway...

I was watching a night football game one evening and after a commercial break it comes back to a picture of saturn. Completely clear, rings and colors and all. Then all of a sudden it zooms way out and turns and focuses back on the game, and that's when you realize it was a TV camera zoomed all that way.
