Finally! Got another good shot of the ISS despite some annoying high clouds. Station was about 230 miles directly overhead tonight when I got the image with a Vesta Pro webcam, hand guided with a 12" Meade LX200 telescope.

Google for "Steve Mogg adapter" that is the attachment I used for mounting the camera. You can also glue a Fuji film 35mm canister on there with the end cut off. Fuji has just the right 1.25 inch diameter.

It's a little Vesta Pro camera that I got on Ebay for $30. Attached with a "Mogg adapter" see http://tinyurl.com/bb5qjg A Fuji film 35mm canister can work too if glued on carefully. If you can still find film! :-)

Cool! Love stuff like this! How is your webcam hooked up to the telescope?
