International Space Station
Hi Everybody,

This shot of the ISS taken 15 Jan 9:02 pm local time.

GSO 10 inch / Philips ToUcam with 2x barlow (F10). Set up focus and exposure on the moon (gain 50 %). The scope was hand guided on the space station through the finder scope as it was moving away . 2000 frames revealed 120 hits on the CCD of which just three were as good as this. Processing was just RGB align. I think the image is a little over exposed so next time will reduce it a bit.

Thanks for looking

Mike

Excellent result Mike, possibly the clearest terrestrial image I've seen of the ISS

Nicely done Mike,

Definately one of the best image I have seen of the ISS. And to top it off, it is in colour.

Awesome!
