RE: Tutorial: How to photograph an International Space Station fly-by
Very good tutorial and the result is breathtaking, I'm wondering if we can get any details of the ISS using a telephoto lens and a high resolution sensor to be able to crop the image ?
Thanks very much! And to answer your question, yes you can! :) You need a telescope though, a telephoto wouldn't cut it. You'd need a focal length of at least 800mm. Then you need to hook up a DSLR and a trigger release. A telescope wont track the ISS as it moves to fast so you have to follow it manually. Its really tough! I don't have the prerequisite gear so I've never tried it :)
