Space Station viewing by Amatuer

Here's a good report on what is possible with our gear.

Anyone else viewed it?

pretty amazing, was a bit disturbed by the comments people are leaving. Good indicator of the level of nutcases out there ie. "there is no space station or shuttle or astronauts, its just a conspiracy budget to cover up weapons spending" :sadeyes ::sadeye s:

Yeah, I also image the ISS. It's a pretty fun target, and all you need is a dob. I hand track the station while following through my finderscope - it doesn't take much at all.

Here are some images from a pass a week or two ago:

And here are my best ISS images:

Good fun!
