ISS pass through Leo

Starting to get a little more confident on astro photography now, but it's still *very* early days. I've bought several magazines, read lots of Internet articles, and slowly but surely it's all starting to make a little sense. There are several avenues to pursue, but I'm in absolutely no rush. And while I'm still reading and forming plans, I can still use the Canon G11 on a tripod to experiment.
 
Finally got some decent conditions tonight, a clear moon free sky, and the benefit of the next door neighbour not putting on their outside light :-) Add to that a wonderful ISS pass and I just had to have a go at capturing it. And I'm pretty happy with the result :-) A 15 second exposure (maximum the camera can do) of the ISS transiting Leo. For good measure I've also included Ursa Major with my amateur radio antenna in view.
