Perhaps my old Hi8 video camera with 10x image stabilized optical zoom might record something :-)


Interesting! I'm gonna try that and see what happens.

Really nice view of ISS from Kendal tonight, during its 20.14 pass. Managed to follow it in my 4.5" 'scope, and magnified 20x or so it was very noticeably an elongated object. No detail visible, but not stellar. One nice flare too, really stunning to look at.

I have been meaning to catch the new sight of ISS for the last few days now. However clouds are a nuisance when it comes to looking up at the heavens above sad.gif .
