Space Stations in daylight
I used a combination of TLE tracking and manual corrections, did not use a guide telescope to find or guide the target, filtered out most of the skylight through the IR850 filter, and to my surprise, I managed to track and photograph the space stations three times.

Hi,
congratulations on getting such good images of the ISS - it's not a target I have tried, but I went to a talk about how it is done earlier this year, so I know what a difficult target it is!
