I used a Celestron 9.25”
1/2000th and iso 1600.
I unlocked the clutches on my AVX and manually guided the scope. My girlfriend fired the remote trigger with one hand when I yelled “now” as she held our 13 month old son in the other hand.
We shot about 80 photos and hit 23! I was surprised I hit that many especially with a crop sensor. Now I want to try a longer focal length with a full frame camera.jerrysykes wrote: ↑Mon Mar 23, 2020 12:50 pm Outstanding capture, Dyno !!!. Tracking the ISS manually is not an easy thing to do.

Thank you so much. I actually made a video of TheMakuser wrote: ↑Mon Mar 23, 2020 10:18 pm Hello Dana. I got to watch an ISS flyby last Thursday night (3/19) in my northern sky. This station moves pretty quickly through the sky, so I rarely use binoculars, much less a telescope. Wow, you did a great job on capturing this fine image. Thanks for sharing this with us on here Dana, and congratulations on winning the TSS APOD Award today.
This video is great too, and passing by Venus!Dyno05 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 23, 2020 10:41 pmThank you so much. I actually made a video of TheMakuser wrote: ↑Mon Mar 23, 2020 10:18 pm Hello Dana.

Here is a link. It’s best viewed on a large HD monitor at .25 playback speed so you can see a bit of detail. Full speed is cool too.
