Hi,
On Friday morning I managed to capture two frames of the International Space Station transiting Jupiter. I missed by a little bit.
I used a 10" goto dob with a ZWO 120mc camera. Capture software was SharpCap and the frame rate was 30 fps and the exposure was 0.64mS with the gain on 50 which apparently was the maximum on auto. I borrowed my mates camera. I extracted the files as tiff (premier pro) and stacked Jupiter from the remaining frames that did not contain the ISS. I then dealt with the two individual frames of the ISS to try my best to improve them visually however almost anything I did caused them to pixilate. I tried using the minimum dust and scratches to see if this helped but it caused the ISS to blur and loose a small amount of detail.
Anyway I have done this twice now and thought I would post both to get any advice before I do attempt 3. I only have Photoshop CC so if any processing advice this is the program I will be using.
