ISS over Munich through the 80cm telescope of the Public Observatory in Munich, 9. July 2010. For more videos and information please visit: www.tracking-station.de
go to "heavens minus above dot com" . Here you can find when the ISS passes your location. Then it is very easy to find, because it is brighter then the brightest star. The only problem is that it is very fast (about 1deg/sec.). So it is not easy to get it with the finder and look through the main telescope. IMO the best way is to install a videocamera at the main telescope while you hold the ISS in the crosshair of the finder.
How did you find the ISS with your telescope? I'm getting a 5 inch celestron reflector and i would love to see the ISS

I can not post web adresses in my comment so change "minus" with "-" and "dot" with ".", you know.
