Hubble Space Telescope

[von Tom]

The HST passed over Brisbane tonight so I thought I'd get a shot at it. Using a Canon EOS 600D in HD video crop mode, a 1.4x teleconverter and a 12" SkyWatcher Dobsonian, hand guided I managed to get something that at least shows some real shape. ISO 6400, 30 frames/sec, 1/3000th sec exposures

24 frames, 3x drizzled stacked in Registax. Also attached is an unsharpened stacked image which does show a cruciform shape.

Thanks for looking,

Tom

Nice one Tom :thumbsup: Apparently the ISS is a bit smaller these days, some module was detached from it a week or so ago, burnt up in the atmosphere as they do, arh yeah, was a waste module, heavest ever from the ISS, some heavy sh*t man : ) never heard/read much about myself :thumbsup:
