ISS nad HTV Flyby Through Telescope

[bellzy72]

I still look fwd to every pass!

[chamas90]

which the telescope you used?

[charlieking100]

Excellent videoHow do you basically track it? Like how do you spot it.. knowing where it is ..?

[McWgogs]

@charlieking100 It's very bright when it orbits above, so spotting it was not a problem. I've explained how i track in other comments.

[Marth8880]

@McWgogs You can use awesome software called Stellarium.

[maxxbad17]

@charlieking100 There is an iss tracker on the website of nasa, you can track it region by region

[krisDM3000]

Beautiful. I know how difficult this is.

[noidea111]

How come we can fully recognize objects with such clarity at that distance and we cannot take a CLEAR VIDEO in the skies of an UFO this clear

[McWgogs]

@noidea111 Because people with good optics, usually amateur astronomers know what they're looking at.

[myseanmcmanus]

McWgogs, that is a truly awesome shots.

I have that same camera, it's pretty bulky how do you connect it to the eyepiece? Or take the pictures while tracking?

To track the and have it in your eyepiece at 96X that had to be some feat. And take picts.

Thanks for sharing... I so have got to try this with my new XT8

Truly impressive!

[McWgogs]

@myseanmcmanus I've made an adapter from a piece of linoleum that holds the eyepiece firmly and goes on the cameras lens hood adapter. The camera is on unlimited burst shooting mode and the trigger is pressed in with a small contraption. I guide the scope through the viewfinder.

[Flagged4PvP]

WOW! Was this just pure luck? Or is there actually a way to track ISS exact loc.?

[McWgogs]

@Flagged4PvP It was hand guided, the camera was shooting a 7megapixel photo every second and these are the hits, cropped and centered.

[Abonanno24601]

@Flagged4PvP theres a way nasa.org

good job !

[paQful]

え？これ早送りとかじゃなくて？

何でこんなに急加速してんの？

[paQful]

回転運動を移動に使うという意味なら、宇宙に地面はないと言って­おきます。

[mogurin]

wow! this is amazing!

[yootsube]

SUGEEEEEEEEEEEE

[uchineko]

Amazing!

Great job!!

信じられん！

素晴らしい！！

[marimo0331]

oh!cool!

[belisariusorb]

So you used some software to recompose the image?

I don't think I'll be able to get anything as good as that without sophisticated filming techniques.

Thanks for your info.

[McWgogs]

Registax5 is free and has a thing called "align using centre of gravity" which works great for such images. Google "photographing the iss" should provide all you need to know to succeed. Good luck!

[belisariusorb]

Thanks amigo, see you round on the Orbiter Forum

[belisariusorb]

Great job, can't believe you hand-guided it. Steady hand or what? What magnification was the image? Do you live in the UK?

I'm hoping to do something similar on the next ISS pass more than -3 magnitude, next Thursday.

[McWgogs]

Thanks. The magnification was 96x, and the camera was shooting pictures at 7 megapixels, every second, and the ISS was at about half of them in random places on each image.

And i live in Poland.

[momodrive]

Amazing!!

[newfocusdriver6154]

凄すぎる。

[aiueoyou]

よくとれたな～

nice!!

[aminalzuhair]

Astonishing.
