International Space Station Fly Over

After being missing from our northern skies for a few months, the International Space Station (ISS) can now be seen again tracking west to east across the sky in our area.  I use an iPhone app called ISS Spotter to predict when the ISS will next be passing over and in which direction.

It seems that some people don't think it's possible for me to take shots like this, but I can assure you it is.  I use a Nikon D500 crop sensor camera with a Nikon 500mm f/4 lens and a Nikon 2x teleconverter.  The above shot is cropped to death and fortunately, with a bit of processing, the detail isn't too bad.  Here's what an uncropped version looks like (which actually might be better):


Here's a shot of the waxing gibbous moon that I also took:
