February 13, 2001. 1915 CET. International Space Station (ISS) with US Space Shuttle Atlantis (STS-98). QuickCam VC on Meade ETX mounted on Vixen New Polaris mount, tracked manually with scope's finder. Two images out of 1306 (an AVI-video) showed the station well enough (inset) and were extracted from the video for stacking. The upper right image is the processed stack of both raw images, the left image a monochrome negative view. The lower image is magnified 3x.

May 31, 2001. 0226-0228 CEST. Space Station ISS. The top two images were made near the middle of the pass, they are composites of several images. The bottom one was seen more towards to the end, it is only one image. QuickCam VC on Vixen 90M, tracked manually.

May 31, 2001. 0405 CEST. Space Station ISS. I would have to say that this is the highest resolution I've achieved so far! It clearly shows the small solar panels along with the big ones, an impressive feat especially considering their size and brightness relative to the rest of the station (very small and extremely dark) - I'm still working with a 90mm scope! QuickCam VC on Vixen 90M, tracked manually. A detailed article about the image processing steps from the raw image (left) to the final image can be found here.
