and its tank the other day but the clouds rolled in.
As usual they cleared right after they were gone so I said
I'd leave my gear standing and try catch the an ISS pass.
I decided I'd try and see just how much of its current shape
was visible in a photograph without using a scope.
Turns out it's quite a lot! I used a Canon 350D camera and a 300mm zoom lens on a tripod.
I used various aperture values to be sure as to eliminate motion blur or camera wobble.
The resulting set of shots shows the ISS and even the solar panels quite clearly.
I was amazed to see the cigar like shape even in the viewfinder!
The image reads right to left as the ISS passed over.
Each image is a crop from the full image size and the
inset shot is a stacked image of all 11.
A curiosity none the less but it's amazing to think just how big it is.
