Tracking anything manually is a bitch, I know as I own a 13 inch dobsonian with no drive and no fancy tripod mount. With practice its possible. Good job on the shots you did get. Keep trying~!
This isn't so awesome. This is something anyone can do with a camera with a good low-light sensitive CCD and a tele. For most of those you cant even tell what it is, because you are zoomed in way too far and are moving the camera around so much. I'm guessing the "unlisted satellite" was most likely a iridium satellite as those flare a lot and are easy to see.
this is true,,,the satellite before the ISS was not on my charts at all,an going opposite direction,learned that Zoomed lesson, i'm using a celestron8se with cybershot cam universaly lens attached,i follow the sat's with red dot star finder on the side...purely unprofessionally
what the hell is this. it looks stupid
