Space Station from the 30-4-11

Hi All,

Here is an image of the International Space Station from the 30-4-11. I really like the angle on this image as it allows you to see each of the modules. I labelled all the major parts on the image for handiness.


The image taken from Balbriggan Co Dublin. It was captured using satellite Tracker software and a celestron C14 at f11 3910mm focal length with a Lumenera 2.0 mono camera at 30fps on an AP1200 mount. The image is 6 frames stacked manually in registax V4 and some processing was done using Photoshop CS3.

PS,

I just did a long interview with the Sun News paper about the ISS. There running an article in tomorrow's newspaper about my images on the space station. Article will be out on 3-5-11 newspaper

Yet another great image. I am really looking forward to seeing the article in the paper tomorrow about it.

Keep up all the good work mate,

Jesus Carl, that's an amazing achievement! A superb series of shots if I've ever seen one!

Keith..

Bloody hell Carl, thats right up there with the best.
The shape of it in your images is how I was it in the binos, a big T.

That's the best I've ever seen. Wow !!!
Well done mate !!

Thanks for the comments lads. The article made it into the Sun news paper today I was surprised it was even picked up by the press to be honest. At the resolution I can get down to it would be great to image the Shuttle & ISS.together. The hard part is with such a narrow FOV is getting and keeping it on the screen is a job in it's self.
