Another ISS Pass, Weds 31st July, higher magnification, was further away, 44deg Alt max; & still I over-exposed :rolleyes: have killed a lot of the bright ghosty flaring (in PS) which is still evident around the edges! A bit betterra than last attempt, starting to distinguish some of the modules, which is quite exciting ! Will be waiting a few weeks for next opportunity, but I'll nail this sucker yet : )

10" F4.7, 3X barlow = 3600mm
ISO3200, 1/1000th

Hope it worth the squizz !

Nice work again, Bob. Did you hand-guide this on your EQ6 again?

I think there's a slightly dimmer pass (mag -2) on Friday too?

Cheers Dave, I did the hand push guide thing on the EQ6 again, and a lot easier @ 45deg alt or similar, than overhead :thumbsup: Thanx for pointing out the Fri-eve pass, strange info changing lately, Heavens above had tonights pass @ only 42deg alt 5-6 days ago & Fri-eves was only 35 or something, I wonder if they did an altitude burn ? ?
HavagoodN !

Thanx John, them solar sails looks cool, trying to improve on the capturing for 3D perspectives :P
Cheers . .
