That's no meteor!

International Space Station Rising from Perseus

That’s no meteor! It’s a partial trace of the trail the International Space Station (ISS) took tonight as it traveled upward, through constellation Perseus, and faded into Earth’s shadow. The exposure, and thus the trace, was shortened to avoid overexposure due to heavy light pollution in the Cleveland (Ohio) area. This is my best ISS trail shot to-date; getting these photos is much more difficult than it seems ... the difficulty coming from the aforementioned city-caused sky glow! Photo Info: Canon EOS 6D: ISO 400, f/4, 17 sec., 58mm.
