Hi,

I finally had another chance to image the ISS.
DMK 21F04 monochrome Firewire camera, Prime focus, 30FPS, 1/2048 Sec.shutter,35% gain.
Starmaster 14.5 , hand tracked.
This is the first time I have tried stacking (four frames) ISS images and I was surprised that it helped slightly.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Very nice Wes.

Must be quite a challenge capturing such a small and quickly moving object. ISS doesn't often get very high here in Edmonton.

Very cool image Wes!

Your Son must have been having a blast helping you out! I'm surprised that the Starmaster dob gives you enough in focus to shot prime, might have to give it a shot myself sometime.

cheers
