You can indeed see satellites without a scope Jim. They look like stars that move slowly across the sky (of course with the scope, they whiz by). I remember spotting them when I was young. I guess that is when my wonder of the night sky began. No,.. I was even younger than this. :)

Jim,

I have MS and they have always attacked my eyes so I can understand you having trouble seeing the satellites. This being said, may we both continue to see "the real stuff" and may our skies remain clear.

mcro 89, I would like to extend my most sincere apologies for taking up so much room on your post. It did open up a very important lesson for me and for this I want to thank you.

Isabelle

Shine on!

Thats no problem, now you can see ISS on Stellarium it will prove to be a most useful tool for you to spot it in the sky :)

Just caught a handful of shots as it came over Forest Hill at 21.05. Really had to wrestle with the mount to track it! Here's a single shot, taken with a Canon 1000D through a C8.
