ISS from the attic

Hi,

Several days ago, I went to the attic with my Canon EOS 450D atached to the 90mm Maksutov telescope.

First thing: precisely align the viewfinder with the mirror, then aim at Arcturus (if it's there) in order to properly focus the mirror...Set the camera to 1/500th of a second, 1600 ISO, then detach the scope from its tripod , wait for the arrival....there it comes,.....Put the viewfinder to your right eye (I would rather use the other one, but can't) , try to rest both elbows on something hard and wait it's high enough (meaning close enough) and then start shooting....clic, clic....
