I just watched the first video. The 'Cray 1' was released in 1975, I was almost 3 years old. Thanks for the video links. I will watch the second when I have a little more time.
Quote - I had accidentally managed to view the ISS through my scope. Couldn't do it if I tried. Amazing to think that I can now check what is happening in the sky in seconds instead of guessing, like when I was a kid in the country in the 1980's. BakerStreet - Quote
Visually tracking the ISS through my telescope is tricky. I have managed to do it with my 12" goto Dob when it was hooked up to my laptop (loaded with some free satellite tracking software). The scope would 'leapfrog' and pause ahead of the ISS's predicted path while I waited at the eyepiece to see it tear through the FOV. I have just reloaded the software and am keen to try it again.
