So I found the old digital camera from 2013, a Samsung Galaxy Camera - think Android phone but minus voice (it is 3G data) but with a telephoto lens built in. The nice thing about it unlike a phone is the settings, ... 1/7
i.e. for night photography it's brilliant, as you'll see shortly - note as this was the first time in 5 years that I've used it I got the settings wrong, that & a street light saturated the images, not helped that I had to stand outside the front door for the #ISS pass 2/7
Anyhow here's the first of 2 good images of the #ISS
Now this was at f/2.8 focal length 23.0 ISO 3200 for 1 second.
Yeah I thought I had set it for 16s (like I had done in the past) but it was good it did it at 1s
That said I'm surprised it showed as much for just 1 second 3/7

Here's the second decent image taken 6 seconds later, you can see that the #ISS had moved from the previous image 4/7
Here's the first image annotated with what's visible including the #ISS, the Pleiades cluster just above Venus, Hyades cluster, M42 Orion Nebula & Betelgeuse the star that dimmed dramatically the last 6 months & some thought might have gone Super Nova but didn't (yet) 5/7
So one last good one before the bad ones.
Here is the Moon, taken a few minutes after the ISS images.
Remember this is all with that same camera at the start of this thread. Nothing else added except for a tripod 6/7

Right the bad. These were at 16 second exposure, but I didn't adjust the ISO down so at 3200 and with pesky street lights it's saturated. You can still see the ISS as a short trail and a lot more stars.
Anyhow next time I'll try with more reasonable settings 7/7
