First ISS! - Twilight Pass over London - 2 December 2021 - 87 degrees Alt

Revision title: ISS using TEC250MC and ASI462MC

Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

First ever attempt at imaging the ISS. Using SkyTrack by Brent Boshart without which I would not have been able to catch it with my 10" Mak at F20! In fact, the little thing just flew past and I could not re-centre it until it was on its way down. So the videos represent the best frames (42 for the TEC and 67 for the 94mm refractor) as it whizzed past in the FOV.
FireCapture(d), followed by AS!3 alignment and processed in AstroSurface for the B&W image from the refractor and PixInsight for the colour image from the Maksutov.

ASI178MM with 94mm F7 refractor: 0.307ms/102fps/108gain/25gamma
ASI462MC with 250mm F20 Mak: 0.505ms/134fps/250gain/50gamma

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
