Here another International Space Station
ISS with my Zhumell Dobsonian Z8 8″
Dob and ZWO 290mm
The seeing conditions were a little better yesterday and I would rate them as average. The
ISS peaked at 53 Degrees. The image is 80 stacked frames that I Put into PIPP then exported as Tiffs, then stacked in AS3. Then I used Registax for wavelets and PScc to Finalize it. The video is about 2.800 images of the
ISS put together with PIPP and exported as an
AVI file. The .ser file had about 27,500 total images, so I was able to capture about 10%. PIPP eliminated any empty frames. You will notice towards the end of the video that I started to blow out the station due to high gain. I also had the exposure a tad higher than the usual 0.284ms. So the image below must be around 40-45 Degrees up.
