Another ISS/Moon/Jupiter pic

[dlp]

Took this of the 2nd ISS pass last night. Was a few seconds late getting my remote attached to the camera, hence shake from holding the shutter release open. I was amazed at how bright the earthshine is at the moment! Had to make a huge levels adjustment to get rid of the light pollution.

Nice one David.

I spotted the ISS last night about 17:10 when I was out checking Jupiter and looking for Uranus, It was extremely bright. The skies are looking favourable tonight so I might try to get a pic of the ISS at 17:35ish as it passes beneath The Moon and Jupiter.

p.s. I did manage to see Uranus :-)

According to my copy of stellarium the ISS passes over the Moon and then Jupiter this evening at 17:35 ?

edit sorry the ISS is over Jupiter as well

Another great shot - it looks like lots of people saw this pass.

are you sure it's not passing below the Moon and Jupiter at 17:35? I tried the 16:00 pass (which was above the Moon and Jupiter) but it was too light to see anything. My cameras are ready for the 17:35 pass, fingers crossed :-)

It definitely according to stellarium is over the Moon and Jupiter next pass.

I'm worried I wont be able to fit both in with my 50mm.

Edit: It was only just over.

it must be our different locations that make the difference, I managed to get a few pics of it (one is attached) and a short video.

The pic was taken with a Canon Powershot G2, exposure 8 secs, f2.5, ISO 100 @ 17:35 09/01/2011. Tyneside UK

That's a point, I am in Belgium.

It pretty much crossed just aboveJupiter for me, I'll get a pic up a bit later on.

That's a nice pic, plenty going on there with the reflections in the car.

Edit: This is the best I got, think I was way out of focus though and was expecting it a bit higher up. It was my first go at it though so I'm happy to of got it.

nice one Pibbles, it's amazing the difference a few degrees makes. I had 4 cameras filming the pass, 2 in video mode and 2 taking pics at varying exposures. Typically it was the oldest camera with only 4megapixels which produced the best results.

I hadn't noticed the reflections until you mentioned them.

Cheers :-)

From Cemaes it went over the Moon with a space of about two Moon diameters I had 3 cameras running including a 5D MkII and a 600mm prime lens. I've copied the raw files to the main pc and had a play in PS with the first one.

Somehow, and I've no idea how, I've managed to created a 47Gb image ! and I'm having one hell of time deleting it from the H/D lol

Got this one tonight - over the top of Moon!

Nice capture David with the ISS.Mark
