Saturn and the ISS

Captured 6:20pm 6th September, 2022 over the Gold Coast, Queensland.

Celestron 9.25; ZWO ASI224MC; IR/Cut filter.
Firecapture: 1 ms, 411 gain.

In hindsight, I should've had gain around 200. I was so rushed to setup in time that I didn't check my notes, which had that written down. Failure is my teacher. Lesson learnt.

I chose not to produce a composite (ie. capture Saturn on it's own and then blend that in with the ISS capture) out of personal preference. I'd rather use the data in the single capture and tease out the exposure using gamma. As I do to bring back proms from solar h-alpha captures. The result seen is the raw frames from the SER file converted to an animated gif.
