Image Details:

After few failed attempts, I finally managed to capture ISS from home, 61.6GB data with 31205 frames sorted manually to locate ISS, 315 frames had it but 268 frames PIPP converted into some video.
Stacked few images with similar angle, could only get 04 frames as output, created a gif😁.

In all seriousness hats off to all ISS imagers with their many-many conquests, it's a hard task with high probability of failure. At the same time, it's satisfying as well to capture a man-made wonder speeding across our skies, with Laboratories onboard working continuously to improve this planet and dour species.

However, it's addictive😝 now I wanna do more of this high adrenaline rush thing chasing ISS. See you again soon ISS.
