ISS 10th June 2007
Report by Rob Johnson.
Hope everyone
managed to see the ISS and STS117 last night if you were
able.
On the second pass
of the ISS after midnight I took a real 'shot in the dark' following something
Dave (G) said to me about visually seeing the shape of the ISS whilst someone was
'tracking' the 16" 'scope(?) up at the Leighton Obs.
So I thought why not
bung the webcam on the 14" and set it recording whilst I tried to catch the ISS
in the finder as close to the cross hairs as possible.
Well it worked of
sorts - most of the images were long trails of blur as the ISS whipped acros the
view but these were a few less blurry from 1681 frames!! I think the only one
that might be close to the truth is the last image. The images go from top left
at the start of the pass the the bottom right towards the end of the
pass.
