Second try at imaging the pair as they pass.
This time I was a little out with the red dot finder so I didn't
get enough frames to create a stack.
I ripped out a few individual ones from the AVI
and put them in sequence.
The direction was from West to East so the images
show them as they rose from the bottom right (horizon) to upper left (overhead)
I'll refine the exposure and red dot finder for the next good passes.
ETX-125, Philips SPC900 webcam, IR filter, 4min AVI.

Wow Frank,
What a great shot. How Do track it manually when it is moving so fast. I know there is a Progamme out there that can make the Scope track the ISS and other satalites. I must get the name of DG. I would like to try it in the C14 easier said than done

Frank, that's nice work, well done!
To prove that there's more than one way to crack a nut, here's my effort - this was taken with my new DSLR (Sony A700 12.2 Mp) attached to my 10" Dob, set on continuous drive as I tried to keep the ISS/Shuttle centred in the finderscope.
