Thanks. I always have a soft spot for ISS. I need to find the time to process a capture from earlier this week.
-
Thank you both. I hope we get more stable seeing this weekend.
-
Thanks Simon . It would be nice to have some consistently good weather.
-
Nice result. I think the derotation has helped to bring nice details around GRS. It's much better than the single stack.
-
I think Stuart and I had a similar experience yesterday. Good seeing but hard to get to focus. I know what you mean about tiredness. I had a 10hr solid sleep last night to catch up from the weekend but it is looking good the rest of the week...hhmmmmm. (By the way, I just noticed you have a new account/username).
-
Great images Simon. Jupiter full of details and a really sharp Saturn.
-
Even if you follow their tutorial you should get going, otherwise plenty of YouTube videos. It's pretty straightforward. I find Astrosurface to give better stacking results on moon when as!3 has failed.
-
Try Astrosurface or Siril.
-
Nice capture. I assume it is at daytime thus the bluish sky?
-
I hadn't used my Niko for 2 years now as I use my asi462 for all my captures. Transits are not that often but a reducer might be handy to have for another event. I will take a look at your moon.
-
You are really lucky being close to the launch/landing site. It must be quite a spectacle !
-
Possible bad connection to the laptop or was FC stopping?
-
Thanks Reggie. It came out better than I thought but not really worth staying up .
-
Thanks Mark.i thought it's good to take advantage of the nice weather.
-
Yes very pleased with that. I got it in in two more magazines so very happy. I need to find time to post it here.
-
For methane it should not matter as long as the colour has good IR sensitivity as your mono. Looking forward to your posts.
-
Thanks John. In this pass ISS was in the shadow thus the dark body. I think the movie helped and then extract the frames. The UK weather is not that cooperative for transits.
-
Thanks Stuart. I have one more set of ISS captures to process and I can sleep tight tonight.😆
-
Yes it was come and going. For the derotation it wasn't consecutive captures so quite turbulent.
-
My body is really feeling it with the late nights this weekend. After I was done with the ISS transit at 2am, I shot a few Jupiter videos and an ISS high resolution capture at 5ish (to be processed). Seeing was stable but focusing was hard. Despite this I managed 8 videos of which 3 were derotated (120s each). My usual 8" Dob setup.

Thanks. Yes I have the transit time from here: https://transit-finder.com/ I started recording the video 1min beforehand and 1 min after to be safe. ISS is pretty good with the times predicted to pass. I did a good high resolution imaging 2hrs later and it was spot on the time and trajectory.
-
Thanks Steve. I am done, my brain says no more 4 hr night sleeps. That's my pattern since Friday night. I hope you manage to get it.
-
Yes I have seen his work. My worry was that with the 200P and the small FOV of the asi I would miss it (I am all manual so quite easy for moon to drift of). I think a reducer would have been helpful. I will look into it as my capture of the ISS 2hrs later was really nice ( need to process the images to post later).
-
Thanks Mandy. I am glad to have got it but I would love to try with my asi next time as I know I can get really nice images of ISS with it. I should have mentioned I was in movie mode so not much clicking 😁.
-
Thanks. Yes I have been waiting over 2 years for a transit that has not been ruined by clouds.
