Superb Martin! Manually guided I assume?

Thanks, Steve,

Yes, hand-guided using finder with illuminated reticle with double cross-wires to define a box that I try and keep the ISS inside. Audible histogram in Firecapture gives feedback on whether caught in preview screen or not and that is also key to success,
