I had a lot of fun setting up this shot knowing that the bright Japanese satellite ALOS (Advanced Land Observation Satellite) would be passing between Cancer and Leo. ALOS lost communication 5 years into orbit and is now decommissioned. Like the Hubble Space Telescope and the ISS, it's a nice apparition to watch for.
