Day 5 blog entry.
Fri 13 May ‘22: ISS Flyover Attempt
Using heavens-above.com I knew there was to be a bright flyover of the International Space Station. It would reach a maximum altitude of 87°, i.e. right overhead. It was to start at azimuth or compass bearing 156° (SSE). It would reach a maximum brightness of magnitude -3.9.
Set up my DSLR with Rokinon fisheye 8mm lens on the tripod and attached an intervalometer. Aimed north-west. Programmed the intervalometer for 10 second exposures with a 3 second gap to run continuously.
This is one shot from that run.
Canon 40D, 8mm, 10 seconds, ISO 800, f/5.6, captured at 11:33 PM.
I did some “light painting” inside the Kchi Waasa Debaabing dome with a red flashlight pointing up. The glow at the top-left if the Moon trying to photo-bomb this shot.
