ISS pass, August 24th

[Starman]

A bit rushed this one as there was another telescope on the mount I wanted to use 2 mins before the pass. Here's a single exposure frame of the ISS as it passed over my site on August 24th. Shot with a DSLR through a C-14, manually tracked.

Stunning, if you could do that with 10 megapixels it would look amazing with 18Mpx!

Superb, did anyone see the 5 minute pass over on the 23rd? i ask as i watched the whole thing and there was another satellite that went over ahead of the ISS on pretty much the same trajectory but much dimmer. I checked various sites and there was nothing about this other satellite.

[MrJulius]

Maybe it could have been an airplane?

Great outcome for a rushed capture Pete.
