Got a reasonable image of the International Space Station from tonight's 6:35pm pass. Taken with a GSO 10" F4 Newtonian, 1/2000th second at ISO1600, Pentax K-5. The solar panels became visible during the last part as they rotated into view. Over 650km downrange at the time of this photo. Hopefully I can get some clearer images with practice!

Thanks Colin! Not wrong. It's crazy trying to keep up with it through the scope.

Thanks Dennis! I'd like to capture a transit sometime. Looks like they are rare.
