ISS Over Mont-Megantic Observatory.

On August 1st, a time exposure created this surreal view that looks up into the early morning sky over southern Quebec. Only the light from a nearly Full Moon brightens the sky and highlights the dome of the 1.6 meter telescope at Mont-Megantic Observatory . Shadowy figures on the catwalk are astronomers who have interrupted their work to glimpse the International Space Station ( ISS ) streaking overhead. The brightest “star” in the moonlit sky, the ISS was easy to spot moving through a background of stars in the high-flying constellation Pegasus .
