Either Santa was lost/delayed, or the ISS passed on a line just a couple of kms from me this morning at around breakfast time.
I have tried on several prior occasions to catch it, but it has either been cloudy, or I've been busy, or 3 times out of the country or Interstate. In fact, when I came to look at the video, I thought I had missed it again, but on closer inspection, there it was, all 1.08 seconds of it.
Taken through my C9.25 with a Canon 7D in movie mode with a Thousand Oaks visual filter.
25 exposures of 1/2000 sec at f 6.3, ISO 250, stacked in Zerene Stacker. The whiter of the 2 composites has been adjusted in Photoshop, the yellow one is basically out of the camera.
All in all, a good Christmas present to myself, and I'm happy.
Have a good New Year everybody.

Reason: Can't count.

Great shooting Mike and well done on recording this exciting event.
Dennis, my apologies!! Yes, 25 visible captures is correct, but there are also 2 more, one before the first, and another after the last, so 27 in all. The timing is correct, 25 frames at 25fps, + 2, making 27 frames, and a total of 1.08 secs. Put it down to Old Age.
Dennis, I meant to say thanks for your input yesterday. I would have figured it out eventually, but you did make it easier for me, and your composite of the Bayside event in June 2011 was superb. I shall get me a Baader Photo filter to see if I can improve on the detail, which I think is rather average.
Great going Mike, Good definition on the ISS panals, id be wrapped with that
about a yr ago, had transit moon, but only 15deg Alt, tiny pin prick dots Recent solar trans here 28th Dec - only 9deg alt, cant understand why I gave that a miss
