Dazz_4130 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I'm looking to do an iss luna capture. Whats the easiest way to get up and running tracking the moon? I have a heq5 w/ 80ed. ill have to travel an hour to the spot where I can capture it but don't want to be polar aligning setting sky points up etc etc if I can help it, can I get away with aligning to the moon and just using phd2 to track it Long enough to do what I need to do?

Nigella Bryant Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) Just a North set up using a compus would be enough. The ISS moves extremely fast across the moon so a fast frame rate is needed. Hi Dazz, the below link will let you know when and where to look. https://transit-finder.com/ Edited November 18, 2020 by Nigella Bryant More comment added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazz_4130 Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 Yeah done some playing around with my dslr, looks like I'll have to shoot jpeg as raw only gives me 5 shots before stalling out, just need to make it easy to keep it aligned so just before it passes I can hit the interverlometer with out having to align it manually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
