Video Capture of the International Space Station
Feb 22nd, 2010 by CtCameraEye
The conditions were just about perfect this morning to try capturing the ISS in video mode on the Nikon D300s.
I set up in one of my dark sky locations in Marlborough, Ct. that had a good WSW view of where the ISS was going to appear at 6:07 am. The sky was starting to brighten just enough to give some good contrast against the ISS at magnitude -2.5 as the Heavens Above website mentioned.
About one minute later than predicted the ISS came into view as it sped across into the southern sky.
Here is a 15 second video out of 2 minutes that I captured on the Nikon D300s camera with a 85mm lens.
Below is the ground track for the ISS this morning courtesy of Heavens-Above.
