Good luck with it Roger! I think Mike summed it up pretty well as far as most of the ISS postings here go. Webcam on and recording, chase the dot, exhilarating stuff!! Focus and exposure can be a bit of a guess, whatever method you use (tracked/untracked). A moon in the sky helps for both - focus on moon, set for moon slightly over-exposed, and take note of your settings for fine-tuning in future attempts.
However tracking would be the ideal, and Spaceweather just had some astonishing tracked ISS images on their website.
Hope MattyP responds to this thread - he's got some great images lately. My two 'successful' attempts (untracked) have been exciting, but with very ordinary results image-wise, LOL! But it's the challenge of it really!
Cheers -
