My first ISS photos

[Kon]

ISS was predicted to fly over me tonight and I have always been impressed that details can be captured with a telescope. With my wife on the trigger and me tracking with my 8" Dob using the finder scope  I managed to get a few shots. I think that's on my top WOW moments of having my telescope. Nikon D3200, iso 800, 1/1000s exposure on prime focus. As a first attempt I am super happy!!!

Hi Kon great effort I also went out tonight with a camera but I didn't see it obviously to many  g&ts I will have another go after seeing your super photos;

Had a good view of the moon though cheers

Thank you. Yes absolutely thrilled with it. I read a few posts in the SGL forum on how to capture it. I did not expect anything but  I shot over 300 frames of which 10 had it 😀. I want to try again and also stacking. Summer is great to see the ISS although the weather is not playing ball at the moment.

Very obviously the space station - well done!  I would be thrilled if that was my first go!
