Who would have thought it!! The torrential rain stopped, the clouds cleared and I'm just so excited to have seen it!! :D
Here's the video I took.

I've stripped the bmp's out and am currently looking to see if I have any clear images of the ISS.
I shot at 50fps, so hopefully I might have one or two.

Sorry about the sound track, but you can always mute it. :lol::P

I've added a single frame from the capture. I've applied some USM and Curves. But that's it. This is full res.

You are a legend JJJ. Who would have thought this morning that you would pull this one off. Great work. Fingers crossed for Wednesday.

That is cool - I have not seen the ISS look so bright against the Moon - normally I have seen it as a black!

Exactly. :)
According to Heavens Above it was mag -2.3. Pretty close to what I estimated it to be at the time. I still didn't expect to see it shine bright like that against the Moon.
I'm uploading a single frame atm. You can almost make out the solar panels.
Shame I couldn't take hi res photos at the same time eh.

I can't believe the way the skies cleared up so quickly tonight.
I'm glad to see you were able to take such great advantage of it.
