ISS Pass

A photo of the ISS pass last night. Just put my camera on a wheelie bin pointing up with a 10 second exposure and crossed my fingers! Of the 3 photos I took, one has ISS going through it.

The photo won't win any prizes, but its good to see what can be done with very simple equipment. If only it had been clear during the Perseids a few days back.

I got a couple of new RTL-SDR USB sticks last week and am currently roughly calibrating them (estimating the frequency offset error and will look at the noise figure to compare with my other USB sticks - although the latter is tricky due to the lack of equipment I have.)
