ISS with Crew-4 and Soyuz MS-21 (31st August 2022)

[Kon]

After a month of no visible ISS passes, I had the chance to image it again at 516am this morning. Conditions were ok with gust of winds so not the best of sharpness. ISS is currently docked with Crew-4 and Soyuz MS-21 that are nicely showing in this pass. The sun reflected off the iROSA panels is looking quite nice as well. 8" Dob, manual tracking, asi462mc, UV/IR cut filter, 2.5x TV powermate. First image nearly overhead and the second during the approach from the W horizon.

Having had a go at capturing the ISS I know just how hard it is so well done

Thanks. Unfortunately the wind was not helping this morning. I hope to have another go later this week.

Have you had any luck with your captures? I remember you tried earlier in the summer.

We only had one night available to have a go and we learned a lot that night. Lack of ISS pass overs since then put us on hold.

Will try again when its favourable to do so

Great detail. The slight blurriness gives it an impression of speed.

Once again,  excellent images with a difficult target.

Just remember, if you happen to see a Klingon bird of prey, ignore it. They are coming back to take me home.

Thanks. I like the positive comment about the blurriness 😆.
