According the forecast on the www.calsky.com I have tried to catch the ISS "above" the Moon. FOV was set a little bit out of center, that´s why the whole ISS has appeared only on one frame from cca 90 secondes record. The frame was processed in Registax 4

Description

The pursuing of the ISS was made manually. I recorded an AVI of hundreds of frames, however only one frame it was used successfully for each photograph. All the images are the result of the same AVI file. I made a 150% resize in many images. The data information had been removed of the site Heavens-Above.

Canon 30D at 1600 ASA + Sigma 30mm f/1.4 wide open on a single tripod. Panorama of 5 exposure (10 s each) processed by DxO Optics and then stitched in Photoshop.

Description

The Milky Way seen from northern mid-latitudes, extending nearly vertical between Scorpius (on the right) and Sagittarius (left). To see those constellations, just click here. Jupiter is the brightfull "star" on the top right. At the horizon, under the clouds (lightened by light pollution) one can see the lighthouses of the Glenan archipelago and the lights from boats. Many other pictures taken that night are available at this address.

Location

Lighthouse Point Park, FL

Date

6/8/07 approx. 7:42 pm

Equipment

Tele Vue NP-101, home built alt-az mount, 2x Tele Vue barlow, 3" extension tube, Canon 30D Effective focal Lent is about 1728mm (540mm X 2) X 1.6 (camera multiplying factor)

Description

Oblique view of the shuttle launch. Lighthouse Point Park, FL is 30 or so miles north of the Cape. Typical views of the SRB separation from the Cape show the rear view of the shuttle. This view is from the side and scales out to a line of sight distance of approximately 54 miles. Vehicle velocity at this point is near one mile per second. The most difficult considerations are panning at this long focal length and manually focusing at the same time.
