Part 5/10:
Despite the hurdles, the creator committed to the challenge, setting up his telescope and camera for what would be his first-ever effort to photograph the ISS. He emphasized the importance of preparation; aligning equipment, using fast shutter speeds, and ensuring the camera’s settings minimized vibrations and motion blur. He also set up a second camera to record the process, aiming to ensure transparency and verifiability.
For this particular attempt, he used a high-speed shooting mode (10 frames per second) to maximize the chance of capturing the fleeting transit. As the predicted time approached—shortly after 9 pm—the creator started shooting well in advance of the actual transit, relying on real-time data from the Transit Finder to trigger his camera precisely.
