I've gotten one image so far... I was lucky enough to catch a lunar transit last fall. It was about 20 min. before sunset. The ISS was easily visible to the...
WOW! I have never seen anything like it before! I will have to try to grab an image as well. Maybe we will be able to discern a little more detail. I think I...
... I'll give it a try. I have a 32 degree and a 38 degree pass today, but tomorrow I have a 65 and a 60 degree pass. Would one need to adjust the exposure for...
Hiya group,Bozo here,in the photo section i uploaded strange sight,an in the file section the full sized photo,unedited, you can shrink down yourself...A storm...
I need to try this since it would give me plenty of chances to image it. The thing is so bright now too, it should be easy enough - just finding it will be...
Interesting, but the photo is too small to see anything but the 90 degree object. Eric ... From: HelloBozos <hellobozos@...> Subject: [satellitetracker] Am...
... I can barely see Jupiter in my finder scope, but can't see it in my cam - if it's even in the FOV. Therefore, I wasn't able to check the alignment of my...
... Try this for drift alignment. Once you figure out which way to position the camera it works pretty well. http://wcs.ruthner.at/index-en.php It's free for...

... Where did you get the 2 line satallite elements that you are using? They may be out of date. ISS (ZARYA) 1 25544U 98067A 09091.55359968 Do you see that...
... The ISS is lit up by the sun the same day or night, so don't adjust the exposure. The ISS is mostly white so it will be brighter than the blue sky....
As seen from mid-north latitudes, the geosynchronous sats appear at about -5 dec, so images of M42 are frequently full of sat trails. However after rotating...
Hi John- There are plenty of geosynchronous satellites in near equatorial orbits that can be seen in astronomical images. These have paths with a N-S...
I asked on the visual sat mailing list how to find objects in orbits as low or lower than the ISS so I can use them to practice tracking. Ralph McConahy was...

I'm not sure- probably there are others here with good answers. The geostationary satellite band is limited; there are many more possible geosynchronous...
