I hope in the future I could post here some instructions for a DIY telescope. I encourage you to subscribe to a YahooGroup called “atm_free”. Just search it over the Internet. Lots of good folks there who are experts in amateur telescope-making :)

Nice work. Just started trying here in the North Las Vegas Nevada USA area. I am using a Celestron C8 from the mid 80’s and a D700 Nikon.
I’m always amazed by people who can get this kind of image as the ISS whizzes over… impressive!
Thanks a lot rthepotter!
This is my second attempt to image the ISS, I am still in the process of learning how to do it :)

Hi TOMT,
Thanks! This shot was taken by manually pointing the telescope at the ISS with the help of the finderscope’s cross-hair.
