International Space Station made a 6 minute flyover starting 9:49 pm July 27, reaching maximum height of 51 degrees.
Two 30 second exposures combined into photo.
The lower, slightly dimmer trail, was shot first, and it looked like the ISS would "crash" into the star Arcturus. Just missed. The second trail, upper left, brighter and longer, as the ISS flight pattern was more tangential.
