Description

Boy was it hot out there but with the Sun high overhead that means the ISS was actually much closer to us as well. A mere 268 miles above us compared to last weeks pass that was 513 miles away due to the low angle. Of course with it closer to us the apparent speed is also much faster so I only managed to grab it in 14.5 frames this time.

Technical details:

Lunt 80mm Ha scope

ZWO ASI 1600MM camera capturing at 30fps

Processed in AutoStakkert!2, tweaked in ImPPG, Layered and colorized in PhotoshopCC

Composite of 17 layers. 1 layer is the finished plate for the surface. 1 layer is for the edge prominence's and then each frame that captured the ISS is layered in with everything removed except for the ISS.
