International Space Station ... no CHDK connection so I posted it in the "General Chat" section .. and Chris Hatfield's description has a couple of mistakes but its way cooler than anything I'm going to do this weekend :

They're doing some incredible time lapse photography up there too:

I "discovered" the ISS recently while watching sunsets, and was amazed at how bright it is when it passes over. Since then, I've tried to be ready when the ISS will be visible by checking this website:

The current commander Chris Hatfield (the guy in that video) is a fellow Canadian .. I was actually trying to figure out how to send him a link to your videos .. he would "get it".

Did you see the youtube video of him chatting with "Captain Kirk" (aka William Shatner .. another Canadian) ?
