ISS from the 6th of december

[Guest]

Good evening everyone,

I had the chance the weather was good so i took some pictures of ISS on the 6th of december with my nikon d3200(samyang 14mm(f/2.8),800 iso, 20")

If you have some advices, don't hesitate to give them.

Nice. Your next challenge could be to spot it through a scope.

ISS is too low in the sky "up here", so I've never tried spotting it myself.

Thanks for sharing

I saw some people who made that kind of pictures, and it was difficult for them to do this. Someone had to put the refractor on his shoulder and took a picture of iss through the refractor like this.

But it's could be possible to do that kind of pictures.

Very nicely done! Congratulations! I 'accidently' did see the ISS in my 12" SCT. Shocked me head-to-toes! It looked like a freight-train it was so large/long.

Here's one of the best satellite-tracking programs, which I use:

It's free -
