Thanxs much Chris Kind'of lucky the sharpest capture was when the solar panals were orientated as they were, add greatly to the dimensions of the ISS which therefore covers more of the chip, so, yeah, lucky that way as well

Will the Meade LX200 slew at the ISS speed. I was told it was built in to the controller. I am to ham-fisted to do it your way.
Appreciate your comment all the same Ralph Re: Meade slew ? Sorry mate, cant help you there, I have never owned or used a Meade instrument, wouldnt have a clue really, only that, I have heard one can programm an ISS rate also ! but personally, I'm a more hands on chap ! Also guessing, one would need some mighty accurate pointing measures which I assume would have to also accurately co-inside with your exact location at the time ? ? Near or above 2m F/Length doesnt give a big window , ,
Cheers
