What a chance of a lifetime, to view & talk with someone on board the ISS at the same time! Very cool, also to give his children this opportunity to view it thru your telescope!

It's great you had the resources to help the Ford children and their dad. I'm sure they will always appreciate you doing that for them. The pictures are great. I've had the ISS fly over my house too but never thought of trying to capture an image due to the speed it travels.

It's that easy! Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 3 registered and 7 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
