Hand tracking - fantastic!

Perhaps this model at the NASA site is what you want

http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/vrml/station/

I haven't looked at it, just did a google for you.

Also the Celestia Galaxy model has the ISS orbiting Earth.

I don't know about a computer model, but I found this a while ago:

http://teacherlink.ed.usu.edu/tlnasa...ter/ISSCAD.pdf

It's aimed at school teachers and students, but it has some good exploded diagrams to help identify what's what.

Chrissyo, I am always amazed and humbled by your shots. I recall it was you hand tracked Saturn shot that inspired me to make more of an effort in the Planetary imaging scene. You certainly have not failed to inspire again. What an amazing shot, hand tracked you must have some very steady hands. I recall never even lining up the finder scope most nihgts cause it was just too hard to look through and I cant imagine the effort it would take to guide with it. Hats off. Brilliant job.

Regards

Family video camera afocal through an eyepiece? Manually tracked through finder? On a Dob-mount? I don't think I could be more amazed if you'd been riding a unicycle and juggling at the same time. I reckon this is a staggering result. Brilliant. You get my vote for legend of the week.

Hand tracked Dob.....

Panasonic handy cam.....

Captured images of the IIS????

PRICELESS!!!!


I have been editing video professionally for a long time and one thing I know is using the camera to film while doing other things at the same time is very very hard, let alone something where the slightest off movement or shake can destroy the shot. I can only imagine the difficulty of what you did. Well done.
