Complete ISS fluke.

Setting up for a night on Saturday, Andy01 and I talked about him seeing an ISS pass from his suburban Melbourne home. Next thing, I look over his shoulder and there it was! I was planning to play at AP with my C925 D3 Nikon and .63 reducer and had mounted it all up but not turned anything on.

I madly pointed the scope to have the ISS visible in the finder scope, turned on the D3 and fired the shutter a couple of times, don't ask me about camera settings as I have no idea. Luckily I had pointed it at a star and rough focused via the viewfinder a few minutes before.

I think you could call this a case of lucky imaging.
