Imaging Satellites

Back in the late '80s I remember reading at least one article on imaging satellites. I remember seeing a photo of a huge video camera hanging off the back of a fork mounted C8...

Has anyone had a go at imaging satellites? What gear did you use and how successful was it? In these days of ISS and shuttles it could be interesting.

Hi Al

I can remember someone had imaged the ISS with the shuttle attached through a 12" LX200, from memory it used to be on the Meade website, I also remember the same photo in S&T or one of those magazines.

Big storms down here tonight.
