International Space Station Passing Over

 ISS Passing over mid-shooting the Rosette Nebula

Today, while taking images of the Rosette Nebula (NGC 2244) the International Space Station passed through. When I finished taking the images I put the card onto my PC to look at the frames I had taken and saw this one had an oddly bright line through it with another line next to it, it was way too bright to be a satellite and the line didn't match that of an aircraft. I then went onto Stellarium and checked back at around the time that specific frame would have been taken and indeed it was the ISS, I could see on Stellarium that the ISS passed just left of the nebula!

This isn't really of an interesting pic to see however I thought it was quite cool given what it was and the chances of this happening on accident!
