There are many great resources to find out when the ISS will pass over your house. I use Stellarium, but you can also use "Spot the Station (spotthestation...) or Heaven's Above (www.heavens-ab....

I once photographed the moon with my DSLR and a 800mm Mirror Tele Lens and after I've finished and removed the SD card to transfer the photos to my computer I spotted something moving through the frame. It was the ISS. I missed it by a few seconds. Probably the saddest moment in my entire Life so far.

@destroyerwill6122 3 года назад

I took a few pictures of the last full moon and one of them I just barely caught a satellite (probably Starlink) transiting over the edge of the moon, very blurry. I know how you feel

I feel you. In July 2018 we were camping in Sweden and there was a blood moon. I didn't plan on taking a photo, we just went on a nearby hill to enjoy the view and left the camera in the car. Then I saw a notification from the Heavens-Above app that the ISS was going to be visible. Checking the path I realized that it might transit the blood moon in like ten minutes! So I ran down the hill to get the camera gear, got back up absolutely heaving, set up the tripod and... watched the ISS move away from the moon.

@nachobasket Год назад

I missed my chance tonight attempting to take a photo of the iss. I had it perfectly focused, and ready to take the photo. It rose over the horizon and I saw it through my viewfinder. I took the picture but the shutter speed was too low (1/4000) to see it in a photo. It was low over the horizon and was gonna rise 47 degrees in the sky. I raised the shutter speed and almost took the photo, but it was too late and disappeared in the dark side of the earth :( …. Luckily there’s always next time :D

@djregan9121 3 года назад

@ad2181 2 года назад

By pure luck I captured the ISS before crossing the Moon using a tripod mounted Nikon P1000 in video mode using camera moon setting. One of the frames was excellent. Few arcsecond before reaching the moon the ISS was in focus. Question: Could you set up your EQ mount such that its in the orbital plane of the ISS. This removes one variable. Now you slew by hand or using AZ motor to chase the ISS. Can the High speed AZ slew fast enough to follow the ISS. Is the AZ slew continuous with high accuracy? Does it stop and go. Enjoy your channel. Want get a telescope to photograph planes, satellites and deep space objects.

@GereDJ2 2 года назад

Hey, I think you got a good shot of ISS for the first attempt and how you did it. You can actually see the shape of the ISS, you should have included the show you got here. Nice rig and setup, too. I had a Celestron 11 years ago, but not as fancy as your setup. I wonder if there is an app or program to actually perfectly track the ISS?, I'm sure there must be somewhere, but probably a military one. Seems the problem would be set up for tracking because the ISS flyover is different every pass and to attain that degree of precision setup might take a mainframe.

I accidentally watched the ISS passing the sun while trying my Baader sun filter. Didn't expect that thing crossing the sun - and after I got aware it's the ISS it was already gone, felt like a fracture of a second. No chance of taking a photo, not at all. :) But since then I can just smile about people claiming it's not there. Sure, there are fake interior videos - but the ISS itself IS there for everyone to see. :)

@paca_bill4863 3 года назад

Very cool! As a ham radio operator, I've taken a hand-held yagi antenna hooked up to a small amateur radio, tracked the space station across the sky, and downloaded slow-scan TV pictures that were being broadcast by the ISS. Have to be "relatively precise" on the aiming of the antenna, but nothing like tracking it with a telescope! Well done!

Looking around on the internet seem that upgrading to a 2" VB/Star diagonal could be a good upgrade to get the best out of this scope. Wdyt? Worth the money?
