The standard of imaging on this forum is staggering! How did you even know this was going to happen?? You can make out a lot of detail too, I was expecting just a dot. 

Surely a contender for satellite imaging challenge #1?

I just been looking at this for the 5 mins in just about every size I can and looked up that camera .

Thanks! I've learnt more in the past two weeks on here than I have in a long time.

Cracking job Steve. Still haven't managed one of these, they keep adjusting the orbit. Is it you driving the ISS mate?

Very nice!

Thanks  - just a  case of being in the right place at the right time.

I did have to travel a few miles for this one, about 20.

I was painting inside my observatory this evening. I had the roof opened up although it was quite dark at this stage, but it was lighter at 8pm when I started. It had been cloudy all day so I was minding my own business listening to Apple Music, not concerned with much else above me. I had some random music mix on, and Coldplay Yellow came on. The lyrics said 'look at the stars' so I immediately did just that and didn't I see ISS overhead and then just skim the very bottom of the Moon! It made my evening and I thought of this video by Steve.
