Details:
Took a video last night during the 22:05 bright over head pass. The station's highest elevation was 50° with the closest distance of 520km. This animation is made of 4 frames played back and forth.
I use Fire Capture to record videos for planetary and ISS imaging. The settings were:
Expo: 0.789ms
Gain:210
I have recorded a bit over 10000 frames during the pass. After taking a high frame rate video I processed it in a software called PIPP to brake down the video into frames.
Then I searched for good sharp frames I can work with. I've found 4 short periods (each periods consist of between 4 and 7 frames) having a few sharp frames right after each other. Under "periods" I mean when I so accurately manage manual tracking, that ISS is hovering on my laptop screen instead of just quickly crossing it. These are the moments I'm really looking for. If those frames are sharp as well, I can stack them like we do with video frames of planets. So this way I can enhance the amount of details on ISS.
So I stacked them in Autostakkert 3 and ended up with this 4 stacked frames for the animation. This animation is meant to show ISS, how its orientation changes during the bright pass.
Frames were post processed in Photoshop, basic retouch and editet in Windows Movie Maker to create this animation.
