Stabilized 4K Footage of ISS from my Telescope!

amazing

You could at least CGI some stars in

Here's the stabilized processed 4K footage from yesterday's ISS live stream. If you look closely you can see the new iROSA solar arrays installed by the Crew-2 astronauts (the sun glints off one of the new arrays midway through the pass), you can see the Crew-2 Dragon attached on the trailing end of the station (which is currently turned around for thermal reasons this week during a period of high beta angle) and if you look really closely you can even see the robot arm hanging out in front of the station.

Awesome thank you. I was watch a you tube and saw weird light formations more like circles and not a line. Has skylink changed formation?

No, as far as I know it really hasn't. Was this from the space station? There was more footage of fishing vessels seen from the space station recently which was reported as a UFO. Happens every once in a while. Some of these vessels use powerful lighting under the water at night to try to attract fish which serve as bait for larger creatures like squid.

ISS is extremely bright. The camera was set for an exposure of 1/1000s. Even at 25,600 iso you can't detect any but the very brightest stars through the telescope. The odds of the space station passing one of those stars during any given pass is very low unless you deliberately set it up that way. Since I'm just filming from home, that's unlikely to happen. This is the same reason you don't see stars in daylight footage of the space station, even when filmed in space.

Why would the space station be “extremely bright”? What is the light source?

The sun. The station is the size of a football field and most of it is highly reflective. Do the math, even with conservative estimates it should be one of the brightest objects in the night sky. And it is, when the timing is right for it to have line of sight to the sun while it's still dark on the ground below, as was the case in this video.

Is it just me or does that look very very fake almost like a projection?

“Tue sun” on the opposite side of the earth is able to reflect off the space station that is only 400km above the ground where it is currently dark?

Looks like every nasa(not a space agency) footage I've ever seen.....fake. The fakery is so bad it is laughable that anyone can actually believe this nonsense.

Awesome work Astro!!!!!!! What kind of scope and camera rig you using? I have a Celestron cpc925 w/an alt/azimuth mount!!! Just bought a William Optics Zenithstar 81 Doublet Apo w/.8 flattener/reducer......currently using a Canon 70D (astro-modded) dslr for AP!!!!

Wow - that could never have the hell faked out of it
