About a 1/4 mile from my house is Thunderbird Park, on Sunday I went over at Sunset to capture Venus setting, with camera and tripod in hand I climbed to the top of one of the smaller peaks, This is looking S.E.E.

This is about 20-25 minutes after sunset, the bright lights in the background is Luke Airforce Base and Sun City

Thanks Trevor, when heading back down the little peak the ISS went over, it was the longest and brightest I have seen it. It went over peaking at close to 90', cool to see it fade into the darkness.
