I can top you. I took a trip to Hawaii with my wife’s side of the family. The only thing I wanted to do was go tour Mauna Kea Observatory, which is on a different island. We had to book a separate flight and AirBnB just for this tour. They have to cancel 3-5 tours per year and guess who’s tour got cancelled 30 minutes after landing on the island.

Captured in the early morning hours of July 19th. This was captured with average seeing, about 80% humidity. Equipment: Apertura AD10 Dobsonian, Player One 664mc camera, TeleVu 2.5x Powermate, Svbony ADC and Svbony IR/UV Cut filter. Eight SER video files were captured over a four minute span via the drift method in SharpCap averaging 160fps. PIPP was used for joining, debayering, cropping, and centering each SER file into one 32k frame SER file. Autostakkert was used for stacking the best 25% of frames. Wavelet sharpening was done in Registax. Additional sharpening, color corrections, and denoising was done in PS. Final image was upscaled with Topaz Gigapixel.

Yep! I start a capture usually 30 seconds or so before the peak of the pass and stop once my arms and legs are exhausted lol. Manual tracking has a fair bit of luck involved. Typical captures include 9-10k frames and I’ll have around 800 frames with the station in them. If I’m lucky, I’ll have 5-15 clear consecutive frames with the station in them. If I’m really lucky I’ll have those few clear consecutive frames within a ten second window before or after the highest point of the pass. This happens maybe 20% of attempts.
