Camera was set for 1ms exposure time, 3096×2080 resolution at ~60 FPS, 8-bit mode. The only thing I had to do manually during the pass was control the gain of the camera while watching the histogram.

To track the pass I ran software I’ve written which uses sensor fusion to combine predicted position from a TLE file and computer vision target identification in the guidescope camera. Besides speeding up the setup process this gives me the flexibility to aim the polar axis of the mount anywhere on the sky, which I use strategically to allow me to track the entire pass without a meridian flip in the middle even though I’m using an equatorial mount. To align the mount I ran custom software I’ve written over the past ~5 years which fully automates the process using only GPS and a guidescope camera. I traveled to San Jose to avoid expected clouds close to where I live. This was one of those rare and special 89-degree elevation passes, fully illuminated horizon to horizon. (His twitter, astrobin and facebook profiles) I would feel honoured! I mean, I was motivated by seeing your collection of images and now sharing one of my own really makes me happy! I mean, we are capturing something in Low Earth Orbit, with humans in it! That represents the pinnacle of human spaceflight! Just never fails to impress me! Yeah, and about sharing, I would be more than happy if you could share these on the different social media platforms as well as the website. It is really different than other type of astrophotography. When I bought my Dob, one of the first things on the list was ISS, and I was really looking forward to capturing it, after looking at your images! They are really amazing! The one taken on 18 Nov actually happens to be my first ever attempt at ISS and I was really, really thrilled after seeing how it came out! I mean, first attempt, we were really nervous, but the moment it appeared on the screen with its panels, we were literally blown away… I will never forget those heart thinking moments tracking the ISS and enjoying it later! This is really an experience that I think is quite unique and the level of thrill that it offers is just amazing. Processed in PIPP ( ISS mode), Autostakkert and enhanced in Registax a little bit. Video sequence was started, and then ISS was tracked. Camera- ZWO ASI 120 MC-S connected to Dell Laptop Interface- Sharpcap software.
