International Space Station - 17 March

Whooooo!!!

After my very poor attempt at the ISS on the 15th. I had one more chance to image the ISS before it disappears for a while.

After fixing a few problems with the exposure settings. I managed to capture what I think is my best image of the ISS to date.

This ISS passing was a bright magnitude -2.3 reaching a maximum elevation of about 84°. I used a 1/1200sec exposure time with the gain set at 100% and the DMK shooting at 60fps.

This time I was better prepared for the passing and set the scope up facing the right direction. Overall, I am extremely happy with these results. I still have a couple more frames to process.

Thanks for looking.
