ISS in IR (by accident)

[Kon]

We got a bit of rain last night that cleared the atmosphere from the heatwave and the Milky Way was nice and bright. ISS was predicted to come around 1154pm. I had high hopes for a nice capture but during processing I was baffled why there is no colour 🤣. I realised that I had left the IR pass filter in the camera from the previous night. Anyhow, the images came out really nice. It is a bit overexposed as I was assuming I had the IR/UV cut filter. 8" Dob, manual tracking, asi462mc, IR pass 😂, 2.5x TV powermate. PIPP, Autostakkert and Astrosurface.

Thanks. A bit annoyed to have missed good imaging conditions with the wrong filter but some nice details as you say.

It is interesting you both liked the 4th; i think the panels do look better there. I somehow liked the 3rd and 5th as it shows more of the ISS main body component segments.

Manual tracking to boot, impressive
