ISS Flyby With SpaceX Dragon Attached Video Using (DOB)Dobsonian Telescope

The sky clear and was about Average seeing (3 out 5 from Cleardarksky Dot Com Website). The (ISS) peaked at 73 Degrees with a Mag -4.5. I think I caught this at around 65 Degrees since, I kind of lost it as it crossed the meridian and had to twist the Dob around and move my chair then caught it again as it was going down. I captured a total of 2300+ images.

Also, you can clearly see the SpaceX’s Dragon attached to the International Space Station. I imaged with Fire Capture, then put the (.Ser) file in PIPP and converted it to an AVI file in The Video is RAW and unedited. I just took the (.Ser) File and converted it into a RAW Uncompressed AVI file in PIPP.

Here is one clip with 28 frames stacked together using AS3

I used a Red filter from my ZWO LRGB instead of a regular IR/UV cut. I don’t know if that made the difference from my last attempts but I will use it next time until I get an IR Pass or something to help. 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
