ISS over Sydney last night
The ISS did a 2 minute fly-by over Sydney last night at 21.25 SW to NNE max height 77deg.

While I was at a local park taking short frames for a .gif my mate in Randwick attached his Canon 7D to his 10"Dob and manually tracked it while taking video. This is one of his frames

We didn't know what to expect, neither of us expected this!

Well done Nik and Christian!!! (who are yet to join this forum)

If you'd like to look at my less spectacular .gif of the ISS zooming past go here http://www.flickr.com/photos/7096042...n/photostream/

Thank you eveyone for the overwhelming response!

I've passed on this thread to both Nik and Christian who took the still image and they're are super psyched to take more, infact we had another Fly-Over tonight and they were out there again taking more video ... hopefully they'll join the forum soon and share their goodies.

Below is a quick .gif (still requires some centering and refining) of tonight fly-by. Enjoy
