Same with me. ISS will cross me in few mins.(Edit: changed the exact minutes)

Edit:Saw it. I wanted to take a photo or video but the street light and overexposed the photo. How do I take a reasonably good photo of ISS?

I don't know about the iss specifically, but was stunned that taking a handheld photo with my huawei mate p20 pro - I could capture bright city lights, the aurora and a few bright stars shining through the aurora - in the same frame.

I'd be hard pressed to manage the same with my (old) dslr.

Pics or it didn't happen. That's an impressive amount of dynamic range you are talking about.

These are a couple of pictures I took with my Huawei p30 a few months ago.

Yes. It's a combination of high iso with relatively low noise, and some enforced heavy handed post-processing in the camera app. And perhaps multiple exposures, I suspect. The pictures aren't "great" - but considering it's just "point and shoot" - I found it pretty impressive.

Let me see if I can't upload a couple of examples.

Ed: Any easy image hosting sites that work on mobile and allow selective whitelisting of exif data? I might want to strip time/GPS, but keep/present exposure information.. All without having to go via a desktop image program.

https://imgur.com/upload is the fastest to make it accessible but it doesn't allow selective whitelisting.

Ah oh well. The motives and information already on hn probably correlate well enough anyway, so:

I guess you'll have to download to see exif info.

Ed: i guess a photo sharing site that both values exif (exposure etc) and privacy (allow whitelisting) might be a nice side project..

These photos are amazing!

I think Flickr gives you what you want. But you do have to pay.

I've seen the ISS at -10 magnitude, at that brightness we could see it through thick clouds!! So probably part of it is waiting for it to be very bright.

Hmm. That’s a lot of location info there.
