Thanks Al! Good pass & I took the scope out and eyeballed the ISS close-up for the first time (I've imaged it a few times before). On the rise it was very bright & irregularly-shaped but I couldn't see any detail. But wow, as it 'descended' I could see the long central spine and the solar panels on each side. Fantastic! I was viewing at 43x, just plonking the red dot of the finder ahead of the ISS's path and letting it drift (race!!) through the field.

Cheers -
