My neighbor shot this with his EOS 40D through my 8" LX200 SCT (using a 40mm eyepiece for eyepiece projection) while I tracked ISS using the program Satellite Tracker. Making it a team effort seems to make the task much more managable. I took 5 of the best frames at the peak of the pass and stacked them, adjusted levels, and applied some unsharp masking to achieve the final image. It's interesting to see how out-of-whack that one solar panel is due to the faulty joint.

That is a great achievement to get detail on the ISS with it moving so fast. Excellent job!

Phenomenal resolution. I have never tried satelite tracking. Too afraid of knocking things over in the dark.
Kind regards

wow, great photo, what was the "speed aperture" on your camera to capture the iss.!! or you attached the camera to directly on the telescope, how you took this image.

It was directly attached. A 40mm Maxview eyepiece was directly screwed onto a t-ring on the canon, essentially an eyepiece projection setup.wow, great photo, what was the "speed aperture" on your camera to capture the iss.!! or you attached the camera to directly on the telescope, how you took this image.
