I know I don't post much on the board but... WOW!!!!

I brought my 16" out tonight and was waiting for the ISS when I thought I'd have a go at manually tracking it, boy was it worth it :woohoo: OK so it was a little bit rough to track (up a bit, down a bit, whooo too much back a bit etc.) and pretty fast across the visible area but I could see it REALLY clearly I could almost touch it.

If you've not tried it before give it a go, well worth the effort.
