bit101I was just walking my dog and saw this bright star. Almost as bright as Jupiter or Venus, but it was in the wrong area of the sky at that time for it to be either of those.
As I stood there wondering which star it was, I noticed it was moving. Too slowly for it to be a plane. Thought it must be a satellite. I pulled out my phone and checked Stellarium. Sure enough, it was the ISS.
I took a bunch of shots with my phone as it passed by Cassiopeia. This is the only one that wasn't a blurry mess!
