ISS 06-29-05

Hi,

This is the first ISS image I have taken with the 18" and I miss judged the exposure
setting (with my 14" I knew better how to set the exposure), when hand guiding like I do you have to get the exposure correct before you start because you sure can't do it on the fly
There will be another good pass tomorrow evening (07/01/05) I will try again then.

18" Starmaster, DMK-21FO4 camera at prime focus of the scope, 30FPS, one single frame.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Wow Wes, thats so cool!
Correct me if I'm wrong but is this one showing a bunch more detail than your older ISS images? Or is it just they've built lots more on? Either way if had it set a little faster shutter speed it would have been perfect... what shutter speed did you use?
Maybe I'll give it a whirl one of these days!


thanks for posting it!!

I am amazed Wes. How do you track long enough to get an image?
