Nice ISS pass tonight

Nice ISS pass tonight November 14. Meade LX90 ACF 8" F10 SCT at prime focus, Pentax K-5, ISO1600 1/1600th sec exposure. Manually guided.

I've gotta learn how to use the ASI183 for this job. Should be better resolution at 2.4um pixels compared to the DSLR, which I think I've maxed out.

Not bad. Soon you'll be able to catch the astronauts waving back I reckon. :)

[cometcatcher]

Thanks Chris. I think the astronauts would be 1 pixel. ;)

Thanks Marc! This is the piggyback guidescope I was telling you about that I use to track it by hand.

:eyepop: Respect! You've got a very steady hand or I drink too much coffee. :lol:

[cometcatcher]

Beta blockers. ;)

:lol: In my case maybe a few glasses of port will smooth tracking. Looking forward to have a go. Been wanting to do it for a while but I had no idea how to.
