I enjoyed the picture Hugh.

I managed to latch on to this ISS pass with my 4 inch refractor on a Vixen Porta mount and track the ISS across about 70% of it's pass using the slow motion controls. It was quite a sight with stars skimming past in the background. Lower down on it's pass the ISS changed to a vivid red and then dimmed as it as a result of residual smoke haze from the recent Tassie bush fires.

Cheers

Steve.
