ISS Video & Image With SpaceX Dragon Attached 2021 with Dobsonian (Dob) Telescope and ZWO 290mm Planetary Camera

Here is the International Space Station ISS (ZARYA) Flyby with my Zhumell Dobsonian Z8 8″ Dob and ZWO 290mm Planetary Camera.
 
The ISS peaked at 53 Degrees. This video is about 2.800 images of the ISS put together with PIPP and exported as an AVI. The .ser file had 27,000 total images, so I was able to capture about 10%. PIPP eliminated any empty frame.
 
You can also see Space X Dragona Attached to it. To follow the ISS, I locked on to it with my TELRAD, then quickly nudged my head over to my Apertura 10×50 RACI illuminated Rectile Eyepiece Finderscope.

Here is one clip with 80 frames stacked together using AS3

ISS International Space Station with Dob and ZWO

I used a Red filter from my ZWO LRGB instead of a regular IR/UV cut. Equipment Used: Zhumell Z8 8″ Dobsonian Telescope ZWO 290mm with (Red) filter, Antares 1.5x Barlow, 10×50 Apertura RACI Illuminated Reticle Finderscope to lock on and follow it in crosshairs. Telrad to help spot it easier.
