re: ISS
Hey Raoul,
Now that I've got my first decent telescope finished (homebuilt Dob), have you looked at ISS through a telescope yet?
I'm an f4.5 8 inch, and I only have a 25mm eyepiece for now, but I'm wondering how the ISS will look through my scope when I get a Barlow lense along with a couple of shorter eyepieces.
I've been spending this summer doing a lot of observing in the Virgo area, and one of the unexpected treats that I have noticed when doing a lot of observing is the number of satellites that pass through your line of site due to pure chance... sheesh, happens about once a night, and it sure is cool!
