Title

Close up ISS, yet again

About this image

Another attempt. This is using a 23A filter rather than the 642nm bandpass filter. Luminous transmittance ~30% rather than ~10% so shorter exposures but more atmospheric turbulence. ISS was about 520km away when I took this, more images acquired so my manual tracking has improved. This is most definitely not astronomy but still an interesting technical challenge.
