The International Space Station over Blofield Heath

For once the skies were clear all night, allowing me to take a few long exposure shots of the ISS as it passed over Norfolk. Several other satellites appear too! The first four images are of the early pass at 7.30, the fifth is the 9.10 transit. I've added a couple of shots of familiar constellations: firstly Cygnus, the Swan (Sometimes referred to as the 'Northern Cross) The bright star to the right is Vega.  The final image is of the W-shaped constellation Cassiopeia, with an arrow showing the position of M31, the Andromeda Galaxy.
