Description

Tried getting my first ISS transit a few months ago but failed from clouds and not knowing the DSLR video exposure can be changed independently of the frame rate!! By choosing a very quick exposure time while filming at 60fps, the ISS doesn't move in each frame and blur like the first time. Transits were rare these past weeks and clouds stopped any previous attempts.

Taken at 60fps on the Nikon D5300 with frame exposures of 1/4000s and ISO 200.

Composite image obtained by exporting video frames as png images, and putting them into Pixinsight's Image Integration tool ("minimum" method). Super simple! Really happy with the results.
