ISS in front of a daytime moon.
« on: August 07, 2014, 11:31:09 AM »
Probably get disregarded as a fake, so you can take it up with the photographer, it's an amazing picture nonetheless. This was translated from the website.

Quote
Transit ISS over the Moon - 15 June 2013

A new "Firts-light" ... or rather "First-photo".

This time it's a new tool, a Maksutov 150mm F / 12.

And what better topic for a first test if not the moon.

And, in addition, and the International Space Station (ISS) tranzitandu's sickle.

The equipment used to capture the picture below that transit: Skywatcher 150mm Mak (F = 1800mm), Canon 550D, ISO 800, 1 / 1250s.

I am surprised that transit near the town Dumitrana (Ilfov), the hours 6:17 p.m. TL being so transit "diurnal".

Finally, as a conclusion, the tool looks good for future such events ephemeral.

(June 15, 2013)

UPDATE (June 16, 2013):

Image epste ISS transit Moon was selected for the front page of SpaceWeather.

And for the first page AstroInfo and posted on Facebook Astroinfo, both made by Sorin hotels (thanks Sorine!).

UPDATE (June 19, 2013):

It looks like the picture above showing the ISS transiting Moon became known on other sites due to appearance close to the Station USS Enterprise :).

Those sites: PetaPixel, Reddit, Scientifc American.

UPDATE (June 22, 2013):

For the meantime the image above came on and several sites where there were questions like "what purpose did the image", well I decided to post a picture of the instrument (along with the author to to have a reference gauge) made at the end of May, after a few days of purchase:

Here's the website

That is superb. Fantastic images.

I'd love to get into this stuff, but I live in London and the light pollution is appalling.

I'm surprised the image hadn't shown up here earlier. Looks like it was done in 2013.

It only affects the fainter objects Jimmy, there is still a lot you can do in London. Take a look at my flickr account https://m.flickr.com/#/photos/dephelis/, most of the images are taken in NW London.

If you're interested, you should come along to a meeting of the Baker Street Irregular Astronomers. We meet up once a month in Regent's Park and the event is free. Details of meetings can be found on Facebook.

1. How are clouds (on earth I assume), the 'ISS', and the moon all in focus at the same time?
2. Does that look anything like the 'ISS' we've seen on other dubious photos?
3. What is this photo supposed to prove?

1. What makes you say they are "all in focus", and if that were true, why would that matter?

2. It looks similar to me. And if you think the other photos are dubious, why are you interested in comparisons to them?

3. I don't know what it's supposed to prove, if anything, but what it says to me is that an ground based, independent photographer was able to photograph an object between the Earth and Moon that was predicted to transit the moon by using information from http://www.calsky.com/cs.cgi/Satellites/4?obs=83112305852501, a website which, while presumably getting some of its information from NASA, doesn't seem to be directly related to NASA. This would suggest that the object photographed behaves in a predictable way consistent with what is publicly known about the ISS's alleged orbit.

Because he has set his DSLR to infinity focus. This is standard photographic setting as all objects beyond the hyperfocal distance of a DSLR lens will be in focus.

I've seen the ISS looking like that both visually and photographically.

3. What is this photo supposed to prove?

Who cares, it's a great photo.

1.This is one of the first things that even amateur photographers learn. It is called "depth of focus." For example , at a certain lens aperture opening (F-Stop) with the lens set at a distance of infinity, everything from - say 10 feet - to infinity would be in focus. This isn't the first time that an FE has displayed a lack of knowledge of things related to photography. It is really elementary, My Dear Watson, if you have ever taken photos with an old style camera  that you had to adjust the lens opening aperture,the  distance and the shutter speed manually. So naturally, there is no mystery why the clouds, the ISS and the moon are all in focus.

2.Any photo of anything is going to be "dubious" to any FE. Naturally there aren't any "dubious photos" a flat earth because there aren't any photos of a flat earth except those taken just from looking out your window....Because the earth is not flat...It's round.

3.If nothing else,it proves it's a great photo. You just have to be at the right place at the right time with the right conditions and the right camera to get such a photo as this. Hint to FE's.: The right place would be somewhere beyond just looking out your window. LOL.

To say it is a ridiculous photo is one of the most ridiculous things I have yet to see or hear from an FE ! The laugh is on you ! LOL. RE's :Don't you just love this website for the entertainment that the FE's supply ! :D

OK, cheers.  I assumed London would be terrible -  never looked into it properly.

I'm sure my wife would be rolling her eyes at yet another hobby however...

Great photos by the way.
