Tonight's ISS Pass

We had a nice ISS pass scheduled for tonight, and luckily enough, the clouds decided to part long enough to enjoy it. I set up Zoomie and threw as much magnification as I could on (6mm Orion Expanse + 2.5X Celestron barlow) and then attached my phone and began recording video. Here's the best frame of the bunch.

Thanks, everyone!

[mention]yobbo89[/mention], yes it was manually tracked while my camera was in video mode. This was the best of almost 7000 frames. :D
