    Well as you say the station doesn't leave a streak Ian, it's just an artifact of a moving bright light against a 60 second exposure. If one was to take a 'normal' photo the station would appear as a point of light much like any star. I've tried but it really doesn't work. I've seen some amazing photos out there by people who have hooked their cameras up to telescopes and even managed to photograph the solar panels! Alas, no such chance with my £200 camera.

    I don't think the station will be visible for much longer, but I'm not sure as it seems to return to our skies every few weeks. I'll have to do some research, but for now you can see it here:

    It will always rise to the west.
