We have blogged about Alan Friedman previously in this blog. He is renowned for his artistic, high quality astrophotography.

Recently, he was in contact with Profjohn to let us know that he had captured the following daytime streak of the International Space Station (ISS) in front of the waning gibbous Moon. The animation was captured on September 02, 2007.

For the sequence, he used an Astro-Physics 155edfs and DMK 41AF02 camera with IR filter. Color data captured with a Nikon D1x. Processed in Adobe Photoshop.
