ISS, first attempt

[jtlandreneau]

Didn't know where else to post this in the forum - here is my first attempt at catching a picture of the ISS

I'd be happy with that. I wouldn't have a clue how to image the ISS. Nice work

[Pete Presland]

excellent 1st effort, well done!

That's a great first shot  - mine was just a bright streak

That's amazing ! How on earth (?) did you find it in the sky.

I would love to see this but I don't have a clue where or when to look.

Good job on your 1st try !

That is not an easy target, I have not even considered trying it yet

I use ISS Dector app to know when it is going to be visible for me

A great shot, I would like to try myself one day but have not got a clue how to go about it!

very nice for a 1st attempt! now you just have to get an even faster shutter speed to freeze more of the ISS's detail so it does not blur, what were your capture settings for this and what camera mate?

That is very impressive.

If I remember right I shoot at 1/1500s @ iso1600. I used stellarium to figure out what stars it would pass by, got my camera lined up with the red dot finder, then parked the telescope on the first star. When the ISS entered the RDF field of view, I took a burst of pictures, then moved to the next star. Of ~200 pictures, only 4-5 turned out
