Amazing shots.

[laudropb]

Great images. So much detail.

Brilliant images - I've the same equipment as you and would love to be able to replicate what you've managed.

I've manually tracked the ISS with a DSLR and have very small images so will try my ZWO next.

Please will you describe the settings etc and I'll have a go - it's over tomorrow at 0702 tomorrow but prob. too much cloud - it will be back again soon and I want to be ready.

Thanks,

Cracking shots, you can almost see Tim waving !

[StarlightKnight]

Thanks guys

"M" - I use Firecapure with Gain & Gamma both set at 50 with a 0.687 msec shutter speed (1/1450)

Making sure your finder is in perfect alignment is essential.

Happy hunting

Wow!  Those shots are incredible!

Do you mind me asking where they are taken?  I'm guessing it's not from the UK unless you found some ideal seeing conditions..

I was just very lucky to get a gap between the clouds last Friday morning.

Brilliant images, thanks for sharing.

[Pete Presland]

What is your focusing technique Don?

[StarlightKnight]

Pete

I used a Bahtinov mask and focussed on Arcturus. I also use a helical focuser as I find that better for getting fine focus than the normal nob on the C9.25 - its also easier to keep the star in the field of view when your focusing !!

I was also very lucky with the seeing.
