My name is David Nash and this is my web page. Here you will find the results of my "adventures in astrophotography". I use webcams and dedicated astronomy CCD cameras, as well as film and digital SLR cameras and a variety of telescopes.

I live in Cambridgeshire in England in a small village fairly close to average size towns, but where the sky is dark enough to have a good view and make astronomy worthwhile.
I hope you enjoy looking at my pictures!

The International Space Station crosses the sun

Featured picture
The International Space Station (ISS) is in low Earth orbit, and circles the Earth in approximately 90 minutes. The time that it passes overhead at any particular location varies day-by-day, getting earlier each day. When it is visible in the evening the ISS makes a stunning sight in the night sky.
I used software to predict when and where I would have to be to see the ISS pass across the disc of the sun and photographed it at the right moment.
