    Second attempt at the Space Station

    Had another go at the ISS tonight - perhaps not so bright a trail, but I kept the camera on the level and avoided the converging verticals of the yesterday's attempt. The 130 degree FOV of the lens came in handy!

    Despite the moon only being a little sliver of a crescent, the long exposure makes it look as though it were full.

    Again, all comment/critique welcomed

    Not knowing very much about the night sky, other than its dark, I would say that's good John. I assume the moon is the bottom one what's the other

        Nice. I've been trying that as well, but with a longer lens, although I haven't nailed the settings so far I've got to this (which I thought was being silly, but it doesn't completely suck)...
        (Oh and it isn't scaled down, this is all the pixels I have.)

          It must have been a MUCH longer lens than mine - what are you using?

            100-400 II on 5Dsr, either with a 2x, or a 2x and a 1.4x (which I played about with, basically for fun; they do fit just one way, usually the quality loss is way too much, but here you really need the pixels). I may have a go with my phone at some point, but tracking might be harder (depending on eyepiece).
            (Oh and I'm not sure if one or two extenders as the EXIF can't handle two.)

              Update - I think both 1.4x and 2x, as this was 100-400 with 2x and the image looks smaller...
