First off, I know these are not good shots but this was just to cool. I heard on the news that you would be able to see the International Space Station with the naked eye tonight. So what does a guy do? Grab the camera, mount the 100-400 and a 2x, and see what you can get. After I heard it on the news I had five minutes to get outside and get ready. Manual focused on the moon and hand held. Here's the moon and a crop of the ISS, at least you can see the shape of it.

Here's the full shot of the ISS, and another crop. Hope the mods leave all four shots up.

The ISS wasn't much bigger than a star, but man was it moving across the sky. It sure didn't give me any time to change any settings.

AMAZING Eagle! Very cool. I spend a good bit of time under the night sky and I've yet to see the ISS. I see and image(not intentionally) a lot of satellites but that's about it.

Great job on these, the Moon's a bit overexposed but has plenty of sharp detail. Maybe a little curves/levels adjustment to tone down the highlights.
