Could you fly a drone type of device in space from The ISS and get a video like this today?

This is such a cool composition, I just love the shit out of it. Bravo

It looks amazing! Does the ISS shake from time to time? I noticed there may have been a bump during the exposure. If so that’s fascinating as I never would have imagined the ISS shaking.

For 65 seconds it’s pretty hard to not move the camera, even when pressed against something. Seems like there would be an easy solution, just curious what it is

I'm sitting here going "Now how does one get a camera up that high and stabilized long enough for that exposure."
Then I'm like "NASA astronaut... that would do it."

What do you do now? If you don't mind me asking. Curious as I'm guessing you aren't still doing space flights

It's hurting my brain seeing that thunderstorm lightning trail going a different direction than the star trails, and trying to think about how the space station is moving one direction while the earth rotates another direction.

This is the native resolution of the spacecraft's 1024x1024 imager.
The small moon has been captured in more detail by closer approaches, and even mosaic-composed into a map.

Probably just holding it against the window. I’ve done it before at home, and I don’t think the ISS vibrates much (could be wrong).

I used raw data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft, which traveled to and orbited Saturn from 2004 to 2017 (retired by crashing into Saturn). This imagery from December 2011 was taken by Imaging Science Subsystem's narrow-field camera, an 8" telescope.
Not even James Webb Space Telescope can capture Saturn's moons with this much detail - one must go there.
I sell nothing. Print it out and frame it! Here's more traditional imagery from the probe : NASA link.

This looks amazing. Any higher res for a print of some sort?

What was the reason behind the special permission for the film? Did it count towards your personal belongings weight allowance? Or was it something else?

I can see the refraction in the trails, bending as they approach the horizon. That’s awesome. What an opportunity !

Amazing work! What equipment are you using? And do you sell prints? That would be an incredible image to have framed!

Great shot! Was it tricky to stabilize the camera in the ISS? Curious if you had a good way to secure it against a window to minimize reflections and keep it from floating away!

This is amazing, thank you for sharing! Love the story behind the little blip in the star trails... that actually makes the photo more interesting IMO!
