Tonight's ISS lunar transit
Well, I took test shots last night to determine the proper exposure but forgot that in the interim I had changed the ISO from 200 to 1,600. So tonight's shots are overexposed. But at least ISS is visible in both images: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=2654 Next time's I'll shoot test images a few minutes before... Cheers, patrick
Beautiful! You can really see it. I can't wait 'till next time.

Thanks Joe but I'm still kicking myself for screwing up the exposure. But at least now I know I can shoot ISO 1,600 and not have the image all grainy. Plus at 1,600 I'll be able to use a much shorter exposure so ISS will not be as blurred. Waiting for the next opportunity... patrick
Wow! Very cool....are we seeing the actual station or the shadow cast by the station on the surface? -Rich On Mon, Nov 2, 2009 at 12:10 AM, Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com>wrote:
