I did happen to snag an awesome view of a different satellite through an eyepiece at 50x magnification afterwards - solar panels and body clearly visible. Brilliant sight.
Thanx again Dave, I never thought of trying for a visual, sounds very rewarding indeed, on the to-do list mate

Thanx & Lol, Pat, thinking of applying for a job - keeping an eye out for loose segments, solar panels etc with the prospect of an ISS safety officer

Thanx much Jorge, I did capture it about 12 times in 20-30 frames but this one was way best & think its due to keeping the scope (panning) so to speak, at the same speed as the target, like photo shooting a bird in flight, still a bit of a fluke in my books
