I shot the first photo last spring and posted it in the Astro section.
I shot on a tripod with gimbal not tightened from my driveway about 15 miles west of Lansing, Mi.
ISS altitude is about 250 miles traveling at 17,500mph. If my sons trig is correct it was about 500 miles distant approx over St. Louis, Mo.
It’s a very heavy crop and you can easily see pixelation. Image data follows.
Third shot is one I took 2 nights ago at our rental in Bonita Springs, Fl. And is what prompted me to post these.
C&C gladly accepted.
Downloads make a pretty big difference.
...A eureka moment...congratulations...the first photo is very difficult to do because of the bright light coming off of the solar panels...

I just came across your post again on my watch list. These are cool photos and you should have received a lot of compliments. Thanks for sharing the settings as I didn’t expect to see it set close to a daylight setting. Good job
Thanks for looking and commenting Craig.
I took many hundreds of shots before I finally figured out just how bright the station really is.
