Thanks guys! I had shutter speed at 1.1ms and reckon next time I will try faster maybe .5ms as there is some blurring on certain images though probably down to my frantic tracking.

I have to use max speed on the hand control and tracking in a stepping action which is not easy. The ideal is to get in front of the ISS and then let it drift back over the cross hairs of the finderscope.

Overhead its almost impossible and I nearly fell over as the Dob hit vertical! Once the ISS goes away east it gets easier to track though by then is getting smaller and less bright.
