ISS photo attempt
Posted: Wed Oct 17, 2007 10:58 pm
Hi all,
Just a quick note to let ye know what some of us are up to lately...
As ye know the ISS is passing over Ireland again this week.
I had some succes photographing it through my 5'' ETX a while back:

But Dave gave me a shout the other evening to see if we could try the same thing but through his 20'' Obsession!
Crazy as it sounds, We'd done this kind of thing before with Saturn and the
results were very encouraging.

Alas,
We had no luck for the past 2 evenings due to bad weather &
equipment issues.
Hopefully we'll get a chance again soon.
If we only managed to get one frame I'd say the image would be awesome!
Here's to good weather and less equipment gremlins.
