This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen, well done.
How?! I can’t even manage to see it through my scope! Well done!! What’s the magnification?
That’s so awesome!
I’ve seen it going overhead a couple times but I’ve never tried to image it.
Man, it’s so blurry and out of focus! The camera work is terrible!
Seriously though, this is cool as all hell. I’ve only seen the thing pass by once by eye, and not in a million years would I be able to track it like this, let alone while trying to record or photograph it. Proper skill man, coolest thing I’ve seen on this app in a long time. Well done!
This video consists of 2 minutes and 30 seconds of footage that was taken with a 10″ GoTo Dobsonian telescope at f/16.5 on July 12 ~9:30pm PST.
Gear: Skywatcher 10″ GoTo Dobsonian, X-Cel 2x, ZWO ADC, Uranus-C camera + UV/IR cut filter
Incredible! Really nice work OP!
Amazing.
I once caught that moment when the solar panels reflect the sunlight directly into my eye and it was surprisingly bright it made me squint. I was just tracking the ISS with my naked eyes in my back yard. It blew my mind that I essentially looked at the sun reflected on the solar panels of a spaceship.
Amazing! How did you track it?
This looks amazing bro, reminds me of how a 4D shapes moves
incredibly cool! looks like a spaceship (which it is)!
It has an amazing scifi feeling
This is so freaking cool dude. Excellent work!
Tbat’s really cool. My mind is having a hard time understanding the first part where it looks like it’s making a turn.
Why is it spinning? I know the video is a few minutes long, but I didn’t know the ISS spins so fast.
Whoaaaa! It’s awesome! Seriously well done!
That is amazing. Looks like something from Hollywood (If they squiged some vaseline on their lens).
Why is it spinning? I thought I was more stationary/fixated on an earth perspective.
This is incredible to see just how faaaaaast she is
I appreciate you, man, well done and thanks for sharing
It like looking at The Eye of the God, (from “Hard to be God”).
“It’s so much cooler when it spins!”
Jokes aside mate, bloody impressive. I’ve tracked it before and it crosses the sky in no time!
Is it just my eyes or are the solar panels tracking the Sun? I mean, I know they do but am I seeing them move in this video?
I really love this. Super cool piece of work. Looks like the station is about to go to warp speed.
So cool! I love watching it go across the sky, knowing that there are people onboard that dot all the way up there. I’m going to be sad when it gets de-orbited.
Would have been so cool if it just happened to transform into whatever
Absolutely stunning! A crazy thing to be able to see
I have no idea how you did it, but this is amazing.
Dude, you’ve got to make a video on how you did this. It’s the coolest thing I’ve seen on Reddit!
Remarkable! Technology truly has come so far and you’ve put it to great use. Incredible work and thankyou for the upload 👏
