Clearest view of ISS yet from Nikon P1000

Posted by Wesley on
International Space Station seen on the evening of February 11, 2019

Animation of the ISS overpass
Previous tracking of the ISS with Nikon P1000 was alright, but I felt that it could have been better. Another good tracking opportunity came up yesterday, so I got my equipment ready and had another shot at it. Suffice to say, the results were quite satisfactory. Many of the shots came out quite clearly, you could see the division of each section easily. I did not need to resort to stacking - only the brightness and the sharpness were adjusted here.

The Space Station came closest to the observer on 18:48:49 (third photo) at a distance of 428km. Altitude from the ground was 411km at the time. You can see that the shots before that had the Zvezda module (lowest point in the second photo at 18:48:19) pointing at the observer, while the shorts after that had the Kibo-Harmony-Columbus modules (lower part of the middle section in the fifth photo at 18:49:49) doing that. Another thing to note is that I was looking at the general direction of the Sun, which had just had set below the horizon, before the space station made the closest approach. As the solar panels are always facing the Sun, I would be looking at the back of them in the first and the second photos, which is why they aren't illuminated and visible there.

Hi. I am new to this and own a P1000, I only have ND1000 filter , would like to ask is that sufficient to take the solar transit ? What kind of mode/setting do u recommend for a first timer ? I am thinking 4K 30pfs just like your previous post

Wesley on :

ND1000 doesn't filter enough sunlight to be used for taking photos of the Sun. I recommend getting an ND100000 filter, then set the camera to ISO 100-200 range and experiment between 1/500-1/2000s shutter speed.
