Cities at Night

Cities at night are strikingly beautiful from an orbital vantage.
As members of Expedition 6 to the International Space Station, we attempted to record these images with our digital still cameras and failed. The images were blurred due to the rather swift pace of orbital motion coupled with the required time exposures.
However, we managed to assemble a tracking system from spare parts on space station that amateur astronomers will recognize as a barn door tracker. Using this tracking system, we were able to manually cancel orbital motion and obtain for the first time, truly sharp images of cities at night from space.
