Space Shuttle Was Visible From North Escambia Monday Night
March 25, 2008
This exclusive NorthEscambia.com picture shows the space shuttle Endeavor as it streaked across the North Escambia sky Monday night (click to enlarge).
This photo was taken looking south-southwest from Walnut Hill at about 8:12 p.m. The shuttle had undocked from the International Space Station at 7:25 local time, ending its 12-day stay at the orbital outpost. Endeavor is scheduled to land at Kennedy Space Center Wednesday.
For the photo buffs: This photo was taken with a Canon Digital Rebel Xti, 28 mm at 1600 ISO with a 10 second manual exposure using a release cable. Probably not the best settings to use, but this was our best photo of the two and half minute window where the shuttle was visible. If you have experience with night sky photos such as this, we’d love to talk. Email us at news@northescambia.com.
