Pass of International Space Station 05-Aug-2015

Pass of ISS 05-Aug-2015 (~22:47 EEST); view from Kyiv (Osokorky)

The picture is a composition of four 20-second frames made by Canon EOS 600D in serial shooting mode (with Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II kit lens).

ISS moves from West to East (from left to right side of the picture).

For naked eye ISS looks like a very bright star moving quickly on the stars' background.


DeepSkyStacker program was used to compose individual frames into the final picture.

Here is a predicted ISS track from heavens-above.com.

Pass of ISS

While shooting moonrise (02 Aug 2015) I noticed very bright "star" that was moving among other stars. I managed to shoot it (exposure time 4 seconds, so moving star looks as a track). Later I identified it as International Space Station (ISS).
The first picture is a track of ISS; the second one is a result of identification of stars by means of astrometry.net; the third picture is a calculated ISS track (heavens-above.com)
