  • I challenge those two who disliked this video to make a better video of the ISS seen through a telescope AND hand tracked. Let's see if you guys can do that any better.

  • Can you tell me the song? :D

  • @ekty good luck man, i suppose 4.5" might be better in terms of details.

  • @kargidesign I also saw it today, about five minutes ago i saw a 3-4 minutes flyby of the ISS (-1.0), it passed just next to Venus ;) , i will try whit the telescope tomorrow if everything goes well.

  • @ekty Just a few hours ago, we had very bright (-3.3), 4 minutes pass :) It was damn good just with eye sight, we enjoyed it. It exactly passed near procyon, I was waiting there with 120x but couldn't manage to track it. Than I was able to track it (very hard for me, for now at least) with 48x, but I only see bright patch, not circle but a shape. Like this video, but without the camera artifacts. I suppose a dimmer pass may be more suitable.

  • @kargidesign I have a friend who told me that he saw details of the ISS whit an 8" telescope using a barlow x2, i have a 4.5" reflecting telescope but i have never tried whit it, i think i should do it one of these days, by the way, i have no idea of how to track such a fast object as the ISS :S

  • @ekty Sorry my English, it is not clear. I meant the diffrence between looking through telescope and recording with camera then putting on YouTube.

    Since I have a 8" dob now, let me ask like this: can I see any details with x48 or x120, if I able track and focus :p, I know it is pretty fast.

  • @kargidesign At naked eye you can not see any details of the ISS, only a very bright star moving across the sky, the diference between a telescope and your own eyes is gigantic.

  • how much better is the view from the eye man? I mean can you see the details? And what is your telescope, thanks.

  • :)))!
