James Stone's Amazing Shot of the ISS and Orion's Belt

Remember the ISS shooting through Orion's Belt last weekend? I was clouded out, but James Stone wasn't and send me this amazing image of the ISS passing close to the Orion Nebula (click to embiggen, you won't regret it).

Now remeber, the image is copyright to James Stone, so play nice and ask him if you want to use it. Otherwise kick back and enjoy.

Readers Images of the June 2011 Eclipse

Click images to embiggen. Copyright (2011) is vested in the original photographers, so please don't use them without permission.

	Brendan O'Brien sends us a composite of eclipse pictures taken by his 12 year old daughter using her Mum's DSLR. Very impressive, we have a budding astrophotographer here.
	Reader Julia sent this lovely image of the nearly fully eclipsed Moon taken at 4:30 am local time.
	Reader Cynthia Ma in Sydney managed to get this image of the eclipsed Moon through breaks in the cloud.
	This is the only image of the eclipse Tony Travaglia of Omaru, NZ salvaged from his Camera card. The Eclipsed Moon glowing through the trees is wonderful though. Tony has just acquired a Coranado Halpha scope, so I'm looking forward to him sharing images of the Sun from that.

Now THAT'S an ISS photograph

Tony Travaglia sends in this stunning image of the International Space Station crossing the sky as the moon rises. Click to embiggen, it's worth it.

More Views of Venus and the Moon.

Venus and the Moon ride above the horizon in this image from Sherman Williams (c) copyright Sherman Williams. Click to the images to embiggen.

Remember when Venus was near the Moon back on June 16 (and June 15)?

Reader Sherman Williams sent along these fantastic images of the Moon and Venus as seen that night from Nova Scotia in the northern hemisphere. His photos show how Venus and the crescent moon appeared in his sky, 45 deg N LAT, 64.23 deg W LONGITUDE at about 10 p.m. (UT -3h) Monday evening, June 14.

They are fantastic (and yes, upside down from how we see them).

Sorry to take so long to post them, but eclipse planning and exam marking diverted my attention from them. Enjoy!
