International Space Station Flyby 2-1-09

[ChAnimations]

Is there a way to let the camera automatically take the photos in certain periods of time?

[KenScottPhotography]

@ChAnimations yes, you use an intervolometer. Some cameras have them built in, others you can attach a remote.

cool vid!!! no pun intended

[TheMoonDiary]

Seen the ISS about 5 times now over my house, it's still an amazing sight, seen a few dimmer satellites too

[taofledermaus]

That is awesome work.  I don't think most people realize the skill it takes to shoot something like this.

[KenScottPhotography]

It's a time-lapse clip ... meaning, time was sped up. You can actually see it better in real time as it is 'slower' moving across the sky. These days too, it is brighter since the new solar panels have been installed.

[mottballa6]

Its not fake, It flew by southeastern michigan last night around 9:13 thru 9:19, I seen it.

ISS looks slower than a plane flying in the sky.. yes it prob goes 17000 MPH but were watching it 100 of miles away from it

[chue85]

rofl, you cant see it beause its going to 17000 mph (its exactly 16560mph), thats a lame excuse, remember it is 220miles from earth, it doesnt pass to 1miles from you, u can see it by yourself, just google: iss visible passes

[taofledermaus]

If you haven't set out to spot the ISS yourself, you should do it, it's pretty cool. Go to one of the tracking websites and try to determine when it will come over your area. A good time to see it is when the sun is just going down. Keep scanning the sky because sometimes it will just suddenly show up because the sun's reflection is just right. It often has a golden hue to it.

@bradleycpttd you can see it because of how big it is and you can actually see it ever hour and a half

[dasani110]

@bradleycpttd 17,000 miles per hour in relation to the surface of the earth. So when standing on the earth looking hundreds of miles into the sky, it appears to be moving much slower. Yes, if the space station was only 200 FEET off the ground and buzzed by at 17,000 miles per hour, you would not see much of anything, and you would feel one hell of a sonic boom, not to mention, within the atmosphere, the thing could never go that fast without burning up.

[robertgrassi]

space travels can be totally compared with alchemy and astrology

it is what the scientists do and have always done to pay their bills

fake science for the people, a fake science made to include the godlike powers of the elite

[christiaanrem]

lol ur nuts ''iss does not exists'' lol

[radudman]

LMFAO, and i suppose that, nasa is simulating all of their live videos in a little lab in YOUR basement? all the evidence that exists about the ISS is that it is up there, and does exist

[kirza94]

@robertgrassi ha , your totally weird why wouldnt it exist it would waste money if everyday they had videos from the ISS and the views from the ISS , im guessing you beleve in UFO's,, and as tvboettr said u probilly wear foil hats .

[robertgrassi]

100% fake

[joachim2464]

why would it be fake? I have seen it myself.

[cptblade16]

Is the space statoin at 2:25 - 2:27?

[KenScottPhotography]

you can just start to see it at :23 in HD and not until about :25 in normal quality and it's out by :27. Wish I had a fish eye lens to be able to record more of it's flight.

[KenScottPhotography]

For all you 'I wanna see it'ers':

go to spaceweather and click on the "Satellite Flybys" button on the right, plug in your zip code and you'll get a list of visible satellites flying over you ... even the tool bag!

[GreenTeaHyuuga]

There was a sighting last night where I am! :) It was awesome!!

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

Impressive standing and waiting. Speaking from experience I know there's only so long you can stand in the cold before you start breaking down mentally and cursing your mother and her slow driving.

[loverbs21]

that was awesome!

[thechamp8644]

omg you are lucky I mean I have never seen one. anyway nice!

[zekretzpy]

It flew over Spokane Jan 31 about 90 minutes after sundown moving from WNW to ESE, but not as bright as venus, and watched as it disappeared from view when it entered earths shadow.

[BeechSundowner]

Nice timelapse. Looks COLD!!! even if was the teens.

[KenScottPhotography]

ok ... yes, it was cold!

but, the payoff for the cold was a clear sky!

we don't get many of those in this region.

(and did I mention we also get awesome ice sculputed shorelines due to the cold?! ;-)

[PhillSpace]

Thanks. Really cool. And it must've been really cold!

[KenScottPhotography]

teens ... the week prior had the sub-zero temps that helped to create the awesome lakeshore ice formations.

[cameraperson]

What camera is this?

[KenScottPhotography]

Nikon D300 with a Sigma 10-20mm f4

[turtleraj]

nice!

[Launchbay07]

Cool

[cabbotron]

Yes, it does appear at :26 but considering the time-lapse method and the speed of the ISS, it's gone in the blink of an eye.

[KenScottPhotography]

you really need to watch it in HD(click the link under the 'sound button' to see it better). And yes, it goes by quickly due to the time-lapse method of recording the flyby.

[TheB0AS]

HD looks amazing on this vid.
