About this image

Hand tracked using Telrad + right angle finder. Managed to acquire enough frames in a 2 sec window to produce a reasonable image. Spending a considerable amount of time collimating my Dob and setting the focus accurately helped considerably.

Really nice image Steve. Lots of structure in the solar panels. A good baseline for comparison once Nauka gets there.

That is really impressive, I think I will have a go.
