I decided to try for the ISS transit of Jupiter his morning, going to a spot on Buchanan Rd just off the Bruce Highway, where CalSky placed the centreline. I set up the 12" Dobsonian, and the EOS 550D and on cue the ISS appeared, looking very bright.
This time the ISS/Atlantis didn't even enter the field of view which was a shame but it did look good to the eye! As soon as it passed I started chasing it in the finderscope and only managed one frame when it was fading off into the distance. I have attached a stacked Jupiter image from this morning, and the ISS, which wasn't very clear due poor seeing. I'll keep at it!
