ISS pass / Colour Enhanced Moon

[dylan_odonnell]

I was lucky enough that this was scheduled for me while I was out anyway looking at the conjunction, then lucky again as the only pic I captured was right around the terminator, tycho and the shadows of the nearly full moon.

1/1650s / ISO 800 / f10 / c9.25" 5 exposures stacked in Auto Stakkert + colour enhanced.

Taken from Byron Bay, June 30th.

:lol: This is freaking awesome on so many levels! :bowdown:

[BilliGoatsGruff]

Excellent capture! It looks like something from a magazine cover :D

[peeb61]

Brilliant Dylan! :thumbsup:

[strongmanmike]

Yeah sensational, only way you could top that would be to have frozen the ISS in the same frame as Jupiter and Venus...now THAT would be something huh?

Great stuff :thumbsup:

Mike

[gregbradley]

A sensational shot.

Greg.

[DJT]

[sheeny]

Lovely shot! Nice faster shutter to stop the ISS.

[doppler]

Very cool, the ISS looks like it's orbiting the moon. Lots of detail, I keep going back for another look. :thumbsup:

[ChrisM]

What a great shot! Lovely details.

This is one of the sharpest ISS lunar transits I've seen, well done!
Personally the colour is putting me off a little though, I prefer the more natural one you posted on IG :)

[Camelopardalis]

Excellent shot Dylan :thumbsup:

[AG Hybrid]

That is absolutely astonishing. Well done indeed.

[iceman]

Fantastic! Beautiful capture.
This is now IOTW (http://www.iceinspace.com.au)!

[Rod771]

Nice one, Dylan! :thumbsup:

[ZeroID]

Wow ! Too cool. Well done

[Slawomir]

Great shot Dylan, well done! :eyepop:

[cybereye]

Dylan,

Fantastic shot and congrats on IOTW!!

You know where that would look very nice....? Send it through for inclusion ASAP - I'll save a space!!

Cheers,
Mario

PS That's front cover material....

[multiweb]

So good you've unblocked the cogs in IOTW. :lol: Well deserved.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumb sup:

[dylan_odonnell]

Oh goodness I just logged in to see all these comments and IOTW! Thank you so much!

As it was taken on DSLR the resolution is fairly high so the crop factor was quite good. Here is a crop in without the colour enhancement which I like as well :)

[Ric]

Way to go Dylan, both images are excellent. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[PeterM]

Sensational image Dylan! I suspect you will be approached to have this image appearing in many places, articles etc over the next months.

[gary]

Absolutely wonderful.

Great image and particularly where the ISS is on the moon it is quite visible. Great work :thumbsup:

[peter andre]

Awesome pic. and Congratulations!!
Thanks so much for posting and all of us to enjoy.:)

Saw this pic in my facebook feed today from a petapixel (http://petapixel.com/2015/07/03/photographer-captures-the-iss-flying-across-the-face-of-the-moon/) link with 4000 likes and 750 shares. Nice work Dylan!

[dylan_odonnell]

Oh man, I can't quite believe it but the coverage has been somewhat unexpected. ISS transit photos aren't uncommon but it has resonated with many people which is wonderful to see.

It's been featured on 7 news television, ABC radio and online, 9MSN, Yahoo, CBS, The Weather Channel (USA TV), The Daily Mail, Gizmodo and even Huffington Post!

My phone has been beeping incessantly for days.

I have to hand it to IIS forums, the first technical publisher to feature the photo and my first post that wasn't in the beginner section. :) Thank you so much everyone.

awesome capture- well deserved accolades

[cometcatcher]

Absolutely amazing shot and well deserved to go viral!

[JimsShed]

I'm very impressed on two levels. Number 1...you got the ISS, and number 2...it's a damn good picture of the moon!
Thanks for sharing.

[kkara4]

It is worthy of going viral at the very least Dylan :D.

I wish i had gotten up at 2am this morning for an attempt now haha.

BUt again, well done on a magnificent capture :)

[rmuhlack]

What a spectacular image. Even Chris Hadfield has got in on the action, sharing the picture on his Facebook page:

:thumbsup:

[dylan_odonnell]

Believe me, I choked on my coffee :eyepop: when I saw that this morning! It was tweeted by New Horizons twitter too. And Boing Boing! Best day ever! :)

[iceman]

Congrats Dylan!
Worthy for sure.

[Derek Klepp]

Just saw this what great clarity of the ISS.This would make a fine print to frame up.

[CJ]

Wow! :eyepop:

[John Hothersall]

Now that is a special image.

John.

wOW

[Sconesbie]

Wow!!! Great clarity. The photo and size of the moon compared to the ISS really puts the sizes into perspective.

[AstroJason]

Fantastic image Dylan, not surprised it has been shared around the world. The space station is so clear in it. I just noticed ESA have now shared it on their Flickr page. Well done mate!

[dylan_odonnell]

Thanks.. yeh the European Space Agency (ESA) gave me a call yesterday and had a small interview then made it "image of the week" .. bang on their front page! Such nice guys!

This morning there were shares from AAIA and NASA Kennedy and Marshal space centres and Celestron as well :) Google news shows at least 52 syndicated sites but image search shows the photo on over 1000 websites. I'm glad people enjoy it so much, and so many news outlets reported the fact I'd released the image to the public domain. I've also uploaded the canon RAW on my website for the single frame that captured the ISS. http://deography.com

Crazy week :)

[kkara4]

[tel.lekatsas]

Congrats on the APOD! The best image of an ISS transit I've ever seen.

[Atmos]

You fully deserve everything that has come your way with this image. Loved it when you first uploaded it to Facebook, still love it just as much :P

[cometcatcher]

Congratulations on the APOD Dylan! Best ISS transit I've ever seen also. Very well deserved!

[dylan_odonnell]

Ahh thanks Kevin and Atmos and tel.lekatsas and KISSMAD and Camknox and everyone else I missed. My second APOD.. I can't believe it! You saw it here first. Mike called it :)

[azagil]

Amazing shot!!! well done!!!

[NikonNights]

Awesome capture Dylan, thanks for the share!

[Slawomir]

Congratulations Dylan, awesome work.

[IceMike]

Congratulations Dylan! An amazing shot!

[eskimo]

if I didnt know better I would have said it was superimposed...amazing

[dylan_odonnell]

Hehe thanks! A few people thought it was superimposed actually, as well as the usual bevy of conspiracy theorists and moon landing deniers who dared me to release the RAW unphotoshopped frame. So I did :)

[eskimo]

you must know the same guy I do..
or is it another? does he reckon 911 never happend too?

that is a great snap Dylan

"over the moon for 0.33 seconds" geeez I'd have no chance...old far... err blokes like me cant think that fast
