ISS - 1st April

Hi all

Here's a few pics I just got found that I hadn't processed yet.

They're off the ISS pass overhead on the 1st April. I had forgotten about it, and checked the forum and saw the heads-up literally 2 minutes before it was due to pass.

I quickly ran downstairs and grabbed the tripod, grabbed the camera and headed out into the backyard - extending the tripod as I ran.

As soon as I got onto the grass I saw a very bright light moving up from the SW. I quickly got the camera on the tripod, fumbled with the settings and managed to snap a few pics. I had it on bulb mode at first but remembered I needed to hold it down, and didn't have the remote on me. I didn't want to do 30 second exposures as it would've done noise reduction, and also the very bright moon was low in the NE and would've washed out the sky even more.

The first is a 15s exposure, the second 30s, and the last one is a stack of 3x 20s exposures as the ISS set in the NE. The moon is the bright thing on the right

Thanks for looking.

Awesome shots Mike.

I love how sharp they are and how you've captured the foreground, well done.
