Pembrokeshire Astronomer

This was taken on the 31st May 2006 sometime between 10pm & 11pm, unfortunately I didn't write down the exact time....!!! As the ISS was passing, I quickly set up the tripod and camera, I managed just 5 shots. This was the best of them.

The primary star in the η Cassiopeiae system is a yellow dwarf (main sequence) star of spectral type G3V, putting it in the same spectral class as our Sun, which is of spectral type G2V.  It therefore resembles what our Sun might look like if we were to observe it from η Cassiopeiae.

10:13 GMT It had rained the previous day, and this morning the blue sky appeared only long enough to take a few photographs.  Didn't think I would get to see this event.  Thank you those cloud free moments.
