Weather in SanDiego was clear, but it was overcast in both the other cities. The photo in the gallery was taken as it passed over SanDiego, (but by someone other than JohnnyQuest)using a 30 second exposure, F/2.8, 6.3 mm focal length Leica lens on a Panasonic DMC-LX1 camera set for ISO 80, as the ISS passed near the star Arcturus.
