Many thanks all

Here are 2 more pics from last nights ISS pass that arent blurred by "camera shake" I was moving the scope to follow the ISS by hand by looking through the 8x50 finderscope while pressing the cameras remote switch constantly. Only the fact I already had the exposure set for lunar imaging (250th sec at ISO 100) ensured I got good exposure.

Great images. Are they full crops?

Last night (Tuesday 21) was clear early in the evening while still twilight. I had a hankering to see if any satellites would be passing over. I logged into Heavens Above, just after 8:30 PM, to find that the ISS would be passing over - about now!

Went out onto my front balcony and there it was. Watched it for several minutes until it disappeared into Earth shadow about 10 degress above my NW horizon; the whole time wondering what the space travellers aboard were doing?

Brilliant!

Thanks.
Yep they are full resolution crops. This is the image scale I get with 1400mm fl.

That shot is just amazing, well done Scott!!

Watched the station go over here about an hour ago, very bright.

Congrats on SpaceWeather today, Scott!

I'm amazed at the clarity given the reasonably long 1/250s exposure!
You have smooth tracking hands

Well done.

Wow! I can't believe how you managed to pull that shot but it's brilliant!

Thanks for the recipe Scott. I'll definitely have a go at this tomorrow night.
Terrific images BTW.
