when looking at satellites?

[crunchiespg]

when you look at satellites through a relativly good scope set up what exactly can you see? has anyone got any photo examples?

On the rare occasion when one passes into my FOV and I can keep up with it, it just looks like a white blob that moves very quickly across the sky.

Theres no detail whatsoever

You can get detail on the ISS - there is an image that Captain Chaos produced showing it in transit over the moon.

ISS Resolved :shock:

View of the International space station passing over the UK. Shown at approx 8x actual speed, imaged through a Meade 10" LX-200 with a Philips ToUCam and home written tracking software

Those ToUCam's really are the dogs b*llox

Don't remember posting one, and it wasn't one of mine. Mine was an aeroplane if that's the one you are thinking of.

Love this picture taken by Thierry Legault of the shuttle and ISS transiting the sun.
