Looks like there is going to be a very bright ISS passes this week for Brisbane on 13 Sept. Mag -3.7 and flying directly overhead. Might have to break out the Barlow!

Hi Peter

Did you manage to get out on the 13th?

Here is my effort from the light polluted suburbs of Brisbane, some 6km from the CBD.

Quite a collection of planets and Messier objects as well as the Milky Way.:)

I have attached a single Raw straight-out-of-camera frame as a comparison.

Each of the x6 ISS Frames was a 15 sec exposure at ISO 1600, F4. (Canon 5D Mk IV with 24-70mm at the 24mm end).

Its been a while since I did any processing of this nature and I struggled with the LP and twilight skies.

Cheers

Dennis
