ISS Overhead

[DigitalScape]

Last night the ISS was passing over head (pretty much directly overhead).  I had seen an article that the people in the Houston-Galveston area would get to see the ISS as it crossed in front of the moon.  I hoped that I would get that opportunity too (it turned out that the celestial alignment was not going to work for for my area).  So I go my camera set up with the 100-400mm lens with the 2X extender, and tried to catch the ISS as it passed by.  Try to handhold and point a camera lens cranked out to about 800mm at an object that is traveling at about 18,000 MPH and 200 some odd miles away.  I took one shot.  In Photoshop I did cropping and enlargements (~550% and 800%) and was pleased with the results.  1/250 second, f/11, 750mm, ISO800, handheld, manual focus.

Combining two images (moon and the ISS) - the scaling is not the same for both images.
