Well this is the observatory I use frequently..we have 3 telescopes in there, pretty cool. one has a digital back on it. Anyways, here is one with just the stars, and Venus i believe... then another with the ISS going over before it went into Earth's shadow

What do I think? I think I wish I had access to an observatory, that's what! What size scopes are in there?
As for the bright object, when were the images taken? If they were in the last few days, (around 10:30pm?), then I think that's Jupiter...Venus would be just behind the dome, and even brighter than Jupiter.
