I Captured By Far my Sharpest ISS Photo This Morning in the Twilight Colors. This is not CGI.

My jaw dropped when I saw what I had captured. By far my sharpest ISS photo, a stack of ~20 frames taken this morning during twilight.

I actually photographed a total of 3 flybys last night, the first two slides showing the best result. It’s also amazing to see the sunlight reflect off the panels, shown in the later slides.

The current long-duration crew of humans on board consists of 7 core members—a mix of NASA, Roscosmos, ESA, and JAXA astronauts—aboard since April 19, 2025.

In addition, the Axiom‑4 private mission, a commercial crew, docked on June 26, 2025, with 4 more spaceflight participants, bringing the total to 11 individuals within the frame of these pictures.

Celestron 9.25”, ASI662MC, no barlow. IR685nm filter plus standard IR/UV cut blend. Unbelievably still conditions. Processed on Autostakkert, Registax6, and Lightroom.
