That should make you feel even better in enjoying your moment of fb fame .
My favourite of the comments on it was "Oh Hell Yeh". Says it all doesn't it. 
And someone else commented that you should send the pic to NASA and get it autographed- oooooh that'd be so cool wouldn't it.  |
Appreciate your update Suzy, my face is running out of smilling room
Mmm, send to nasa
I may look into it tho, have an idea
Thanx again for your update

I have had much better luck actually viewing the ISS with the big Dobsonian in background. Its quite easy and very impressive. I think the best way to image ISS would be to mount your refractor on the back of a people friendly Dobsonian. Visually track the station and go crazy with the remote shutter release on the camera at the back of your refractor. Just an idea, Brett

Thats not a bad idea for a refracter brett
Not sure how it would go with a C8 being short and fat, I should try the ED100 with 2x barlow though
Appreaciate your input mate, BTW, it was clouded out during the last ISS pass, have to wait a few weeks now !
Rgrds !
