ISS through 10 inch scope
Here is the ISS taken through my 10 inch f5.6 scope, manually moving the scope while keeping it centered as best I can in finderscope while taking pics.
600D camera prime focus, baader coma corrector, all images 2000th sec ISO1600.
It was an excellent pass, almost right overhead.

Thanks, yep I was pretty happy how they came out. I had prefocused the camera on stars beforehand, using 10x liveview to get the focus as accurate as possible.

I didnt use a timer. While manually pushing the scope I had the remote switch in one hand and I just kept pressing the shutter button. Some frames I missed it but in most frames the ISS appeared.
Cheers

Excellent capture of such a fast moving target Scott. With that kind of accuracey, I bet you have done some fox shooting in your time.
