I am a little excited about the possibility of imaging the Space Shuttle Endeavour tonight from Brisbane (
http://www.heavens-above.com/PassDet...681.3428985301, ) before it docks with the ISS which is expected to be about 2 seconds behind.
I could play it safe by doing a trailed exposure but I would like to use my EOS 550D and 12" f/5 Dob to capture a close-up image. In order to do so, would I be better off aiming at a position in the sky I know the Shuttle will go, or should I attempt to track the Shuttle?
Also, at f/5, what would be the best ISO/exposure I should use to capture (either on video or still) the ISS and/or shuttle so as to minimise motion blur and overexposure?
Thanks,
Tom
