ISS montage 24th May 2020

About this image

A montage of stacked images from an overhead pass of the ISS in late twilight. The sequence runs from right to left and shows the apparent rotation of the ISS as it moves overhead. Each image is a stack of between 15 and 25 frames selected from a pre-processed sequence to have the least blurring and distortion due to seeing.

The time interval between the first and last images is approximately 22 seconds.

Chris. Fantastic resolution. Do you think these images would work in a stereo anaglyph? Viewing the ISS in 3D at this resolution would be very impressive.

Thanks, Nick: I've already done this in my previous post. I can do the same for these images, but they are not quite as good as the set from the 21st.

So you did. Sorry I missed that. I've just tried the one you posted using some old 3D glasses from a magazine and I can't get it to work. I'll keep trying.
