Tracking ISS at high magnification

Excellent...

Nice. All of your stuff is interesting, and usually only seen here.

Thanks.

Amazing images, thank you for posting this Astro.

That's awesome

How close did they get to Van Allen Belts before they had to make a U-Turn?

ISS passes through the south Atlantic anomaly routinely, but much like Apollo, it does not go through the most intense parts of the belts.

That is awesome. We have a 6 inch Celestron and I have been thinking about a bigger scope. I live in the sticks and have very little light pollution. Definitely motivating me to a bigger one with a drive. Trying to sight things in is a pain.

Great image and thank you for sharing

Looks like a tie fighter. Thanks for sharing.

Top shelf, brother.

Thanks for sharing!

Amazing! You get much better and you'll be able to see them spacewalk.

Nice work per the usual.

We've had a flat earth annoyance in chat.. maybe you can jump in sometime?

Outstanding as usual. 5*

Glad to see you continue despite the barrage of trolls on GLP lately.

Cool!

What causes the ISS to flicker? Is it clouds?

So does the ISS have extensive radiation sheilding? Or is radiation not actually a thing in space?

Hey Astro, thanks for sharing! Could I trouble you for a bit of insight please? I live near Portsmouth, UK. A few weeks ago, we were seeing lights in the sky, not lots, only one at a time but in the space of half an hour, we were seeing easily 3-4 and that was occuring everyday in the evening. We do live on a flight path, the planes are easily identifiable because of the aviation lights and you can track them across the horizon with ease. These lights though are just bright white. They're not on the flight path and they're random in terms of the directions they're heading. They seem to vanish into space above the area we live (like I said, you can track a plane across the horizon). Not only that, these lights seem to be at a higher altitude. We even called out to one to flash and it did several times (that only happened once!). Now, I have flight tracker open and they definitely are not registering on the app, like I said, they dont have any aviation lights on. As mentioned I use flight tracker and all the planes we see come across the flight path do register. Theres only one I havent seen register and that was the police helicopter. But you could see the aviation lights and hear the engine. My question to you sir is what other apps can i use to rule out other possibilities to what we are seeing? By that i mean a satellite tracker or anything else that would register human activity in the space above. I'll emphasis again that the paths they take are random and can be from any direction whether that he north, south, east or west. Yeah, yeah, i probably sound crazy but help me out here. What other apps can i use to monitor activity above our head? Many thanks for your time!

How'd they get that thing past the dome? And what about the Van Allen radiation?

Just kidding. That's really nice, Doc. Thanks for posting it.

Good stuff, thanks Astro!

I saw it with the naked eye a few times this summer, and it's cool to see it up close. Thanks OP.

Awesome footage. I wonder how long it will be until the first "the earth is flat/there is no space/the firmament blah blah"-TARD shows up to cry C G I.

Deffo a geese....you can see its wings flapping & everything

Fuxin hell that is .....bad end of ..

What is the magnification?

cool.

Badass...

Thanks, Doc!

It's the thing that makes stuff look bigger...but that's not important right now
