ISS imaging - 2 bright passes

Two bright ISS passes captured with Mak 127/1500mm scope - hand-guided.

 

Was able to align red dot finder and focus scope on nearly full Moon and Jupiter before I started.

 

I can identify the solar panels, 1 bright radiator panel and at the far end of the "body" of the station is the Zvezda service module.

 

There are 3 dots in a row under the body of the station - Im not sure what those are - I know that currently, an Orbital ATK enhanced Cygnus cargo module (CRS 9, 6.3 m long) is docked to the Harmony module - about half way along the "body". Cygnus has a central cylindrical body and 2 round solar panels but Im not certain if thats it!

 

Just for my own records trying to improve:

 

Image on 26th was captured with an Astronomik red 2c filter in situ to try to reduce atmospheric distortion.

 

FireCapture parameters were:

Camera: ZWO ASI178 MM

FoV 3096 x 2080 pxl

Gain: 368

Exp: 0.785 ms

Gamma: 90

FPS: 30

 

PIPP parameters were:

8685 frames captured

1169 frames showed ISS (13.5%)

 

Best 15 that were relatively close in time stacked in AutoStakkert!3 then wavelets adjusted in RegiStax6
