TSS Photo of the Day

ISS

#1

Post by Dyno05 »


I caught the ISS at 83° overhead tonight from my backyard.
I used a Celestron 9.25” SCT and a Canon T3i on burst mode.
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.

That's a great image Dyno. Especially so considering the 'difficulties'!

Interesting, we're seeing it from an unusual angle. That's a bonus.

Very good!

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.

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.

Thank you so much. I actually made a video of The ISS passing over Venus Saturday night. 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.
