Went out stargazing Sunday morning as I heard the International Space Station was going to be flying overhead. I decided to bring up my camera to shoot a composite photo because I was able to see that it was going to fly near the Milky Way. So took my camera out and was able to get this really cool composite photo (a combination of multiple photos) of the ISS flying through the Milky Way core.
For the photography hobbyists here’s how I captured the photo.
The ISS trail is a composite of two shots that were 95 seconds long and was overlaid with the Milky Way that was shot only 5 to 10 minutes prior. The path of the space station is accurate in relation to the position of the Milky Way.
Background: 10 photos of 95 seconds at f/4.0, ISO1600, tracked with a star tracker.
Foreground (road and trees): 5 photos of 15 seconds, f/5.6, ISO 1250 just before civil twilight.
Sony a7ii, Sigma 14mm f/1.8 Lens, Star Adventurer 2i.
It’s magical, I really love it! 😍
wow. that would be great in high res , high qual photo print,framed & mounted … I would like to have that at about 3′ – 1.5′ size ,mounted directly in front of the master bath bidet/toilet for cosmic tracking & reminder that accuracy is a positive attribute for both the ISS to travel its orbit or for me to hit the bowl at 4am ….
Stunning. So that’s a composite of 17 different photos? It’s spectacular.
As a guy who wears glasses because of shortsightness and living in area that is heavy light polluted I have a question. Is it really possible to see something like this with naked eyes? This would be the thing I envy the most.
I live in northwest England, just on the western edge of the Pennines outside Manchester. Anyone know where I can go that’s close to allow me to see this?
Man wish we could see space like this. Just makes you feel so small.
Maybe thats what i saw blinking in the sky, or it was an alien, never gonna not have that as an option
Dont fake it
Beautiful
