Tonight's ISS over Brisbane. The first image is a 3x Drizzle stack of 9 frames and the second image is a composite of 337 images where the ISS appeared on the sensor.

Canon EOS 600D, HD 3x crop movie mode, ISO 800, 1/4000th sec, 30fps, at prime focus of Sky Watcher 12" Dobsonian, pushed by hand to track.

Great effort Tom. It must be tricky keeping it on the sensor.

Yeah amazing stuff Tom.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
I must be thick, I assume the second shot is all the frames. If so how the hell did you get them to line up for a stack :screwy: or did you just hand register the 9 frames from the 300 odd.

Thankyou everyone, I'm glad you enjoyed the pics. Ralph, I aligned 9 images with Registax using "Centre of Gravity".

I have posted a video in the original post.

Cheers,

Tom

That is insanely good, love how it gets bigger and twists showing its 3D structure.
