Details:
My ISS images are on the Cover Issue #75 AMATEUR ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY Magazine .... I am very HONORED I have learned a lot what to do and what not to do for the next time having to do with other magazine publishers.#1 they should have a working phone :-) .... I never was asked to write a 1,000 word article for anyone. Steve Astromag did a GREAT JOB with putting up with me and all my images. Truth be told. I wish they could have sent me the article and page layouts for me to look at first. I submitted the master copy 1 1/2 hrs before the deadline. My BAD! This way I could have proofread before it went to the editor. I look at it this way now. I same a lessen learned. And I have my images on the COVER...How COOL Is that?
My Article and more images are on pages 54 to 59.

Page #57 as I meant it to be :-)
You will find great how to videos by Nagry. He even has a gallery filled with his amazing color images of the International Space Station. The gallery has others ISS images from people all around the world. You will see a good collection. Give it a good look over. You will even get to see some of my images to. Who knows, you may even catch the ISS bug yourself.
Besides my wife not give me a hard time with my ISS imaging hobby and my mother that always shows a great interest in my images. I am lucky to have that.

Sylvain Weiller webpage has a lot you can learn from. Sylvain, even made a software I still use today. It is part of my setup. I made a voice recording that I have it say in my own voice: > You must hit record now < It runs on a continuous loop until I to turn it off myself. I would have the software set to the time of the ISS pass. Yes, it sounds pretty silly. There are a lot of things I need to prepare before imaging the space station. When you first start to see the ISS coming into view, you become quite fixed on it. When you finally see it on your computer monitor, you get lost in the amazement of your capture. I use the hand controlling to do everything needed to do to communicate with the tracking software, because that is not 100%. I need to help it along at times. After all that. I one time I was going to press the stop record button >track off< button on the hand controller after the ISS was out of view. My heart was pumping fast. Now I needed to press the stop record in the FierCapture software. I did quick double take at the screen on the Monitor. I then could not believe what I was seeing. I did not press the record in the FireCapture software. It happened to me with everything that is going. Not anymore for me as long as I use that voice reminder software. That is a big thanks to my friend software reminds me in my own voice to press record in FireCapture software after lock on to the ISS with the Emmanuel Rietsch tracking software by pressing on the hand controller >tracking On< button all working with PC #1
You should look at my friend Thierry Legault website. He is the world’s best in imaging the ISS I all kinds of ways. He and I share the same friend Emmanuel Rietsch that made Videos Sky 2018 Professionnal Software and internal and external electronic components and larger stepper motors.
