A really super photo of ATV-4 and the ISS passing over Fukuoka, Japan, on 6 June between 20:34 – 20:41 JST (13:34-13:41 CEST) taken by Yumiko Kuribayashi. Yumiko-san says ATV passed over first at 20:34 (upper dotted line), followed by the ISS at around 20:39 (brighter dotted line).

Congratulations on the success of ATV-4. Omedetou 🙂

Thank you for putting on the blog my photo. I am an amateur photographer of just three years experience; I love satellites, I often take photos of them! I took this photo alone in the park near my home. ATV-4 was very bright! You are right; this photo is a lightened composite of 150 sheets. The small breaks [in the track lines] are from [missing] frames in between. Have a nice weekend!
