Proud winner of Capture The Universe contest |
International Space Station over Northern California by Ted Judah
The ISS came from the north-west and passed 81 degrees above the horizon on this night. It was 364 km above me when I took this image (Actually a stack of 4 images.) through my new C-11.
Visible are a Progress spacecraft docked to the Swesda module, S and P radiators, Columbus and JEM modules.
I have to give thanks to Frank Brandl for his advice and encouragement. I could not have captured this image without his help.

Great shot considering the location in Northern California. Can only imagine the resolution if taken out on the Colorado Plateau. |

Love it!!! Absolutely awesome. How do you track that?
ANSWER: Tracking? When I get set up before the ISS pass I make certain that the finder is perfectly lined up with the telescope. I MANUALLY move the telescope while looking through the finder. When I get the satellite in the cross-hairs I shoot like crazy. About one out of thee shots have the target spacecraft in the frame. Low-tech huh? -Ted |

No sophisticated tracking. I tracked manually and fired off shots when it was in the cross-hairs. |

Great photo!!
I was wondering if you were just using the t ring with t adaptor and NO tele extender or eyepiece...
Or did you have an eyepiece and tele extender set up to?
ANSWER: I used just the t-ring, t-adaptor and my Canon DSLR. No eyepieces involved. -Ted |

Great shot!
I recall seeing details on Skylab, Salyut and Mir with manually slewed scopes. |

wow, what a great picture. i've seen the ISS fly over a few times and was able to see it with my small ***** scope but it moves so fast i can't image trying to get a photo of it. How did you move the scope manually and take pictures at the same time? Any details about the ISO you used or zoom amount? I have a CGEM 1100HD and a canon T1i. Think it's possible for me to get a pic similar to this?? thanks! |
