I am not sure if they saw me, or if they were even looking, but I managed to see their space craft go whistling by tonight.
In that 1st shot, you can just see the light trail as they swept across the sky at dusk. (Click these photos for a better view)
You can see them a lot easier in that shot. That is an 88 second exposure of them at their highest in the southern sky. Whizzing past the Milky Way.
The last shot shows them dipping into the darkness of space. I am pretty sure I haven’t seen it before, and I know I was pretty excited for a 41 year old when I 1st spotted it. It still seems pretty amazing that you can see them, all the way up there in space.
Kudos to all involved.
