Description

When checking ISS pass data, I noticed it would transit M42 from near where my in-laws live, so I dumped the telescope in the car, just in case the clouds would clear. Happily they did!

Unfortunately they cleared by way of wind, so the telescope vibrated a lot in my exposed spot. Add to that the completely lack of alignment, and you get a *bad* photo of M42. But it's a *good* photo of the ISS :-)

Snapped from Ceres in Victoria, AU (not the asteroid)
