Tracking ISS with my telescope

Here's a selection of my best shots of ISS over the last year, tracked with my SatTraker software.

I'm also developing a stabilization program which I used on the footage to stabilize and select the best frames in a moving window of quality assessment.

That's nice, a friend of mine told me about a week ago he watched two objects approach the ISS.

He had nothing more to say.

Have you tried trigonometry stabilization via the source code over the camera field of view [ which I have yet to take a look at, but this wild guess has some grounds in it, innit ?! ] ?

Actually, the code does, or attempts to do so; this doesn't make the question irrelevant, it makes it open to improvements.

You choose the stars in blue and white
I love you till i'm dead inside
Plastic eyes look milky white

Our pale faces sink in time

Great video!

What magnification are you using, looks like about 120x.

Re: Tracking ISS with my telescope
Hey Astroshill, I have a space question for you.

When we monitor the solar system for potential threats to the planet, do we look in both the horizontal and vertical plane? Or do we just watch the horizontal plane, because it's the most natural.

When Oumuamua entered the solar system on the vertical plane, we didn't see it until it was already leaving. If something was a on a collision course with Earth coming from the vertical plane, would we have a good chance of detecting it?

Thanks for the insight!

The majority are in the galactic plane but there's always that one random tard that comes out of nowhere/vertical and really sends things flying!5a

 Quoting: Remedial_Rebel


The camera was at prime focus so I'm not really "magnifying" the image with an eyepiece. Based on the size of the CCD chip and the focal length used the equivalent is about 150x magnification.

All sky surveys like Pan-STARRS survey as much of the sky as they can, not just the ecliptic plane. When near earth objects are near our planet they can appear almost anywhere in the sky even if their orbit is not far off the ecliptic.

Cool, so is that CCD about 12 megapixel, what cam are you using?
