International Space Station over Northern California by Ted Judah
 
The ISS came from the north-west and passed 81 degrees above the horizon on this night. It was 364 km above me when I took this image (Actually a stack of 4 images.) through my new C-11.

Visible are a Progress spacecraft docked to the Swesda module, S and P radiators, Columbus and JEM modules.

I have to give thanks to Frank Brandl for his advice and encouragement. I could not have captured this image without his help.

Great shot considering the location in Northern California. Can only imagine the resolution if taken out on the Colorado Plateau.

Tracking?
No sophisticated tracking. I tracked manually and fired off shots when it was in the cross-hairs.

Did you use a tele extender?
Great photo!!

I was wondering if you were just using the t ring with t adaptor and NO tele extender or eyepiece...

Or did you have an eyepiece and tele extender set up to?

Nice capture!
Great shot!

I recall seeing details on Skylab, Salyut and Mir with manually slewed scopes.
