Hi all

This image was taken this morning at approx 4:45am local time, with a mag -1 ISS pass flying by at an altitude of approx 43deg.

I put the camera direct on the EQ mount (plonked down and not aligned) and set it to track so that I wouldn't get the usual short trailing stars with the longish exposures.

2 exposures of 60s each, ISO100, f/4.5 were the settings used on my Canon 350D and Sigma 17-70mm lens @ 17mm. The two exposures were combined with Lighten blending, and a very minor curves and levels adjustment.

I had the moon to set the auto-focus on (and then lock it to manual) which was handy, too.

Thanks for looking.
