ISS @ 900mm F/L

A 1st capture of the ISS with a scope, namely a 4" SW Refractor over SEQld, Mar 9th, near 7pm, approx Mag -1 ?

Seen it rise behind a tree, couldnt take a shot untill it cleared almost 50Deg Alt and had only to max height of 70 degs before entering Earth shadow !
Specs : 1/320th, iso 1600, F/9 !
I will try with more F/L next time, but might be challenging, already moves fast enough at 900mm ! !
