D-Day ISS Pass

#1

Post by avid.astronomer »

Between frequent clouds and infrequent passes overhead, I'm still working out camera settings for the ISS. This one was taken last night. I still need to reduce the exposure a bit, but at least you can make out its general outline.

Telescope: Zhumell Z12 (Zoomie)
Eyepiece ES 18mm 82° with Celestron Luminos 2.5X barlow
Camera: LG V20 phone
