The ISS, 6/6/2020 - My 2nd attempt

[soundwave]

• Telescope: Manual Dob, Skywatcher 250p Flextube
• Camera: Canon 550D (T2i)

As the ISS passed overhead tonight, I took a video (movie crop mode) with my camera and did my best to manually track it using the finder-scope as it moved up in the sky.
It was easier at first, since the apparent movement was slower, but when it was really high it was really fast (and started to get overexposed).

I used PiPP to extract the frames where the ISS was in-frame during the entire passage. Then I stacked the best 25% frames of the start to almost middle of the pass.

I'm very happy with the result as it is just my 2nd attempt to take a photo of the ISS.

Clear skies to all!

Yes, well done. It's difficult being it doesn't waste any time going across the sky!

I'm still trying!

Excellent.
