I don't think I've ever seen a shot of the ISS with so much detail before. This is great!

BTW, how do you manually focus on something like this?

Nice! I wonder if you can see any flags planted on the moon with the same combo :D

It's actually quite easy - one just needs to prefocus manually on another heavenly body. I prefocused on the moon for this one, but I've also used Venus or even stars in the past. I also practice tracking by framing the lights of flying airplanes at night.

Great work! Amazing the detail you can get. An 1800mm f/9 telescope with an EF T-mount is cheaper but still, well done!

And this was manually tracked? That part is amazing. Most people use a driven telescope mount at high speed drive.

Holy crap!!!

Do you have some more 2xs? Can you stack a couple more and locate one of those astronauts chilling out on the ISS' patio? ;)
