  1. Observing the ISS. by jabberjaw · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Looking at the ISS video from the article, I find it amazing that one can get such a good observation of the ISS with "ordinary" (read somewhat expensive but still in the realm of the obtainable) telescopes. That brings me to the question, do any real or amateur astronomers care to share what equipment they will be using to view the eclipse?
