Hey all,

Captured the ISS going over Perth on 25th Feb. My LX200 in the foreground.

Very nice! I'd like to have seen the LX200 lit up a bit more, maybe a red light shining on it.

[rogerg]

Yeah, better lighting on the scope would've been good Mike :)... at the time I was a bit tired and didn't really think it through more than "gotta get the scope in it, damn, that light's not shining on it right, damnit... oh well..." :)

Any reason why you couldn't got for 30 or 60sec exposures? That would have probably brought the scope out more without artificial lighting...

just an idea.

Nice work Roger!

Al.

Yeah... good idea .. :lol: .. At the time I was concerned about the sky exposing more than I wanted... but in reality, it probably could've handled at least 15 seconds before it would've been brighter than I wanted.. next time:) Thanks!
