Didn't watch the whole thing, made me dizzy lol
But very cool nonetheless

Now if I had to make a guess at what we are seeing

I would go with USS Enterprise

If wishing made it so.....

Did anyone see that orb like object at 28 second ?

.......


Just kidding....


Thanks for taking the time to make this little movie. It was fun.

Wow great video. Looks like the uss enterprise! I've never been able to spot it due to cloud and my poor skills

very cool OP
great tracking just by eye and hand

on a side note, i wonder how many will steel your video, and re-title it as a UFO
£5 says there will even be a thread posted on it here within the next day or two

Even though shaky, not bad, it is hard to get aligned in your scope, let alone get video. Good Job!

No more zoom? No detail? why can´t we see the astrounauts through the windows. With todays tech, we certainly should be able too, since we can see wath everyone do at every shopping mall or atm 24/7 nowadays.

Pause at 1:21 for a fair amount of detail, showing the panels and such. Very cool video. I can't imagine the amount of patience and skill it must've taken to keep this in the viewfinder.

For those of you that want to see the ISS pass by, you can find out when it'll be visible from your area by visiting www.heavens-above.com.

Looks like the USS Enterprise from down here...

Cool work.

Peace

I have a question maybe someone here can answer it since it is in regards to this thread.

I would like to buy a telescope to be able to see like the moon really well or the space station.. That video you posted is not high enough quality for what I want to see its just looks like a wavy white blob to me.. Obviously I dont expect to like see people inside but I would like to clearly see the moon..

Do they have these, and how much do they run, can someone give me some model numbers that I can look up prices?

No guys you don´t get it. We need to shoot these amateurs down so that the experts emerge. That is the way they will strive to become better, to get them a new target(Astronauts in windows coming next). You gotta have a vision of a better tomorrow or you will succumb today.

Hmm, cool video, I wonder if I could see it with my little Wal-Mart Telstar. I doubt it though, it's really only good at seeing craters on the moon, which is still a good time for me!

What sort of gear were you using? It must have been a nightmare keeping track of that. Very well done indeed Congratulations friend!

Thanks all for watching and the great comments!!

The Telescope what i use on the the movie is a small one 4" focal length of 1000mm ( MTO11CA or Russenton)
And with use of the crop movie function from the Canon 550D, otherwise you will see only a little star passing by on your screen!



This is a hard target for imaging very very Fast

I also like plane spotting in the sky also very hard to do!
