Thank you Pat for looking in and yes it looks like it's only a couple miles up. That thing is big.
I was amazed I could get such a good outline of it with just a camera lens.

Nice job Craig.
I usually shoot it as a star trail.
Never been lucky enough to catch a single frame.

Thank you Jim I had no idea how to shoot it.
So I used my tripod in gimble node and got it.
Best shot was almost straight up.

PS: I just got in from shooting Eclipse and Saturn.

That's incredible especially considering just using the 600mm lens!

Thank you very much DL, I thought at first I was wiggling the camera until I processed the shot and it came out with actual details of the ISS.
