ISS over Mississippi 20141231

10" f/4.5 Newtonian on an Astro-Physics 900GTO GEM mount

Recording time with ISS on sensor:
20141231 (YYYYMMDD) 4:29:29 to 4:31:10 P.M. CST
ISS was in the trees before and after the above time.

Camera:
TIS DBK41 1280x960 color video cam at prime focus on 10" Newtonian
FOV = 17x13 arc-min (7mm eyepiece = 18 arc-min FOV on my setup)

Software:
FireCapture 2.4.06 Beta
Input codec:  Y800
Output Lossless compressed codec: UtVideo RGB (ULRG) VCM

Software:
Satellite Tracker v2.5.1
	Setup for my 900GTO mount.
	Telescope- Interface Protocol- LX200 Compatible
	Options - Preferences - Tracking Factor = 0
	Timing Offset (sec) = -1.58
	Alignment Adjustment (steps) = 0


Mount:
Astro-Physics 900GTO GEM mount:
Minimize backlash in Dec and RA
Set Mount time as close to the second as possible.
A very good polar alignment will minimize corrections due to drift.

Focused and ReCal on Vega

If you want to start with OTA below horizon in the West pointing
 above the SW horizon.
SW to Zenith to NE with no meridian flip.
After Satellite Tracker connects to mount,
 set mount Keypad ''Meridian Delay'' from 0W to 6W
	
Sun in West at +3 degrees Alt
ISS approach from NW
Maximum ISS elevation 71 degrees in SW

Captured ISS on 900 frames before meridian flip and then trees.
Centered with COG (Center of Gravity) in Registax 5.
Reduced file size and shortened play time to 3.4 seconds in
 VirtualDub v1.10.4 with
 video-frame rate-Process every 24th frame

Got enough frames this time to see the ISS rotate.
The ISS passed by me on my right, their left.

You see the front-left of ISS on approach.
You see the bottom-left at max altitude of 71 degrees in SW for this pass.
And finally you would have seen the back-left on departure which was
 cut short by meridian flip and then trees.
