Iss

I was just doing some Lunar observing when I spotted the ISS, was not expecting it:rolleyes:
I put the 16" on it with a 30mm eyepiece, wow what a view:eyepop: the Solar Panels where as plain as day.:D
I wsh it was traveling just slightly more to the South East, it would have been easier to track:rolleyes:

Fabulous Ron, well done!! would love to see it 'live' in a 16". :)

Almost the same Dave :) I was doing some very High Magnification observing 609xmag trying to see the "river" down "Vallis Alpes" no joy:(
but the seeing was brilliant, very still and the Moon was just about on the meridian when I caught sight of the ISS:)
I had to change eyepieces, and by the time I had focused on a star the ISS was low down, but I managed to get a couple of looks before it went over the hill due East of me.:cool2::cool2::cool2:

I check out heavens-above after checking Inceinspace posts first noticed that it will be flying almost directly over my house again at MAG -3.5. Hope the clouds stay away. It will stay up longer in view too.
