Composite of a Series of Images Taken From Space Aboard the Space Station  This is a composite of a series of images photographed from a mounted camera on the Earth-orbiting International Space Station, from approximately 240 miles above Earth. Expedition 31 Flight Engineer Don Pettit said of the about photographic techniques used to achieve the images: "My star trail images are made by taking a time exposure of about 10 to 15 minutes. However, with modern digital cameras, 30 seconds is about the longest exposure possible, due to electronic detector noise effectively snowing out the image. To achieve the longer exposures I do what many amateur astronomers do. I take multiple 30-second exposures, then ‘stack’ them using imaging software, thus producing the longer exposure." A total of 18 images photographed by the astronaut-monitored stationary camera were combined to create this composite. Image Credit: NASA Read More Planned books:None Current books:

Happy New Years and health and happiness to your and the family.
SJScribe-
Glad I can still type (sort-of) with one hand holding a glass.
Your coast has made it to 2009. In just under three hours, ours will be there.
Too bad I don’t have a siege cannon to fire off.
With best regards-
-SJBill
Thanks all – and best yours as well.
Oh, and SJB — is a designated writer called for?

Happy New Year to you and yours, SJS. And thanks for all the wonderful history you’ve given us (current stuff, too) in the past year. I learn a LOT when I come visiting in these parts!
