ISS 2015 #5


Finally a well-timed long-exposure capture of the International Space Station, and I think I even got rid of all the hot pixels. This was the second pass at about half past eleven yesterday evening – the previous one was so early that the sky was still too bright for photography, although I was able to see it. As usual, this was taken with my Powershot SX1 running CHDK and processed in RawTherapee and PaintShopPro.

This is what happens when you start the camera too late – the trail from the space station begins in the middle of the photo! I had configured something wrong and lost a couple of seconds, but it still turned out to be a nice picture so I didn’t even crop it. This was again a 120 second single exposure with the CHDK-enhanced Powershot SX1 – and if you want to spot the station yourself, the best website to find it is Heavens-above.com!
