Thanks for the info. The Heavens Above site is pretty helpful. I had a good sighting last night, but could not get everything setup in time. If I can get out of the way of the trees, I think I will be in good shape.

I was able to see the Shuttle and ISS, but I was not able to get setup to get any shots off by the time I spotted them (seems to be a recurring problem with me and moving targets). I will try again on Friday. I did experiment with some shots of the moon. More experimenting required....
