ISS fly past detail

[lukebl]

Hi folks,

Here's a capture of the International Space Station as it flew over this evening from about 17:30 to 17:32.

Captured with a Canon 6d, Omegon RC8 (1600mm f/8), 1/800 second exposures, ISO800. I hand-tracked the scope through the finder as the station passed over, and fired the shutter continuously and selected the best frames.

At its closest it was about 528 kilometres from me. I love the way the orientation changes as it goes over.

Here's an animation of 16 frames:

Here's a single frame. Shows how tiny it was!

Nicely done :)

It never ceases to amaze me that it's possible to get such a clear image of it.

That is possibly the coolest set of images I have seen. Hats off to you for an incredible accomplishment.
