Shuttle/ISS shot

One of our local Astronomical society members took this, damn good I reckon.

The only way I could possibly hand guide with that precision would be through a spotting scope. That's nuts!

Incredible shot, one of the best earth-bound shots I've seen.

It's hard enough to see it on a pass over your location in the night sky at times, to see something like that is totaly awsum...

Oh bugger you beat me to it. Justin Tilbrook is famous for finding two comets, you may remember the comets. He has a very nice setup, and if you think your equipment isn't up to it, he used an 8" f7 scope. Magnification helps! I saw his setup when I checked out his observatory to get ideas on how to do mine. He has nice dark skies too.

Keep trying!!!!
