I have been waiting for this transit for days. In terms of apparent diameter, it is not perfect, because the ISS was about 750 km away, i.e. the apparent diameter was 38". In an ideal situation, the maximum is around 61" from Hungary. therefore, the day before the photoshoot there would have been a 52", but it was too difficult in the terrain, too far away.
The composition was inspired by the idea that there are a couple of people out in outer space with a space station, and with that they represent almost all of humanity's sciences. It was a grandiose experience to see in articles how the space station was built, to see how they work and the traffic there... and it's all there in the evening, sometimes as a bright "star" in the sky, sometimes in front of some celestial body and we know it from a cake plate to take a photo with carved glass.
Although the sky was clear, due to the front crossings, the seeing was initially 1, and later it became approx. 3.
First, I focused on the ISS so that it would be in the pictures, then the panels followed for a larger mosaic, so that the composition could be varied, and finally, due to the turbulence, I decided to stack on the ISS as well, so at 1 a.m. I had fun aligning the ISS images one by one, then playing with the APs in AS3, an actual sharper image of the ISS came out. In the end, a 375 frame became the reference point and the mosaic could go.
I made the colors with the big 401/3250 SC, and the Canon 6D was on it and it also recorded the transit for that.
Finally, a slightly imperfect RGB align, then the combination of the two could come.
