ISS with ASI120MC-S

[long_arms]

Hello, 

Tonight I had my first attempt at the ISS with my new camera (and laptop).

I've taken images before but with the ASI120MM. I fancied colour and USB 3.0. It took 16,000 frames in around 200 seconds  !

I definitely need a new barlow, thinking of either the posh celestron 2x or similar. The next big jump will be with the new telescope I'm going to make though. 

SW200p. Stock SW 2x barlow. ASI120MC-S. Manually tracked. 

Thanks, 

Dan

Thats amazing Dan! How did you get so many frames per second? May I also ask how you got focussed beforehand?

How did you get so many frames per second?

The 120MC-S is a USB3 camera.  It can really ramp up the frame rate.  I posted some details here: http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/222049-asi120mm-s-first-impressions/

Hadn't occurred to me that it might be useful for capturing the International Playstation though.

How odd is that? I noticed when I follow the ISS visually at x100 magnification the solar panels look orange and it is the same at the start of your AVI yet pictures in out of space of the ISS are not orange?
