Stunning HDR Capture of Tiangong Space Station 🚀

This final image is a pro processed HDR image.
The Tiangong was extracted from the transit 4K video and composited in this image. The frames were stacked using the "Minimum" algorithm to get the ladder effect that you see here. The stack was then processed on a long exposure of the Moon to give the dramatic glow. The stack was blended to another stack of 100 images of the lunar disc.
This space station is about one third the size of the ISS, that’s why it doesn’t show much on transit images like this. So far, this has been the best attempt to capture its details.
I used the ISS Transit Finder website to predict the transit.
Capture date/time: March 4th 2023 at 10:41:52 PM
Gear used: Celestron 11" EDGE HD, Sony Alpha RIV, and a Skywatcher EQ6R PRO mount.
