Excellent videos and you have a natural camera presence. I have been photographing the ISS for about 15 years with a CPC1100 and you get better results than me!
CPC1100 😱 Unless it was set up permanently, which I have no room for, I’d never be able to lift it. What a beast though! Where can I see your ISS photos?
Funny... I like that you made a comment about using Gimp because it's free. You probably have $10K in scopes and cameras! I'm sure you could find room in the budget for PS or PI. Great image though and definitely something I'm going to try when I get into a long focal length setup.
It’s nowhere near 10k in equipment, seriously! Everything was second hand, and even new it wouldn’t reach half of that. I’m just not a fan of how PS subscription works and am eventually saving up for Pixinsight, which will do what I need and once I pay for it, I actually own it! 😊 Thanks and good luck with your captures!
@@CellistOnTheRoof I saw your other video with the two beautiful (and giant) SCTs. If you were able to find those used then you've done well, very well. I'm a PI user and like you wasn't a fan of the subscription service of PS. Keep up the good work and videos.
Yes both second hand! UK telescope market is pretty vivid 😊 Plus, the smaller one is going on the market now. I’ll be joining you in PI at some point! Clear skies.
Great couple of videos👍This has piqued my interest again in having a go at capturing the ISS. I have a CPC1100 that I haven't used for years (I'm more of a widefield imager now) so it's the perfect excuse to get some use out of it.
Thanks! CPC1100, now that’s a magnificent beast. I’d absolutely love one of those but unfortunately can’t lift it! Do try and please let me know how it goes!
Great demo on both image capture and processing in the various software packages. i’ve been wanting to try this for a many years, and now I’m inspired, thanks
With you being new to videography, you're sure doing a good job, but also a good capture of the ISS. I like your plan of letting the ISS go through the field of view of the scope, rather than trying to track it. Question, what is the advantage of stacking several images of the video? Is it the same reason for stacking a faint Deep Sky Object? I thought the software picks out the best single image, and then we process that image. Thanks for your work and help.
Thanks! Yes same as any stacking whether it’s DSO or planetary, it’s just to improve the signal to noise ratio. You can absolutely work with just one image, but any little bit helps so I always try and stack a few, just to give a bit more signal!
Well done
Brilliant!
Really great. Again 😊
Thanks Stephen! 😊
I learned two new things
Glad to hear!
I am a longtime visual observer who is just now getting into imaging. Your video was very helpful.
Thanks so much for your lovely comments!
Gracias por el video, resulta muy interesante el contenido y es bonito el resultado final. Saludos
Great work. I'll be following the channel to see more cool space stuff! Astrokoz :)
Hi Dan! Nice to see you here. Thanks and right back at you 😊

New subscriber here, your presentation style is excellent. The 2 videos re: ISS capture are very good and looking forward to future videos.
Thanks very much!
Good job! Those are the best ISS photos I've seen from an amateur astronomer so far.
This is awesome! I just started my training at NASA to become a flight controller for the ISS two weeks ago so I love this stuff!
Oh wow! Thanks! Could you tell them to slow down a bit, they’re really hard to catch for a good photo 😄
@@CellistOnTheRoof haha will do!
Very nice! You are doing great job
Thank you!!
Thanks.
awesome , especially done on free software.
Very cool ty

Nice job with both videos. I'll have to give this a try one evening. CS!
Thanks, fingers crossed for you!

Thanks and good luck!
Wow, great captures of such a challenging target. New sub here.
Thank you!
This is over my head but cool. You know what the truth is. I'd like to look for Bigfoot with one of these
"You know what the truth is."
What?
The truth is, she took some images of the ISS in space - and you could too.
