success!

A detailed report will follow but, briefly, we were successful. In fact, the spot we chose, the north-west end of the parking lot of Humber Bay Park East, combined with the ISS reboost at 2:50 PM yesterday, put us very near the center! A lot of us got good video.



I was particularly impressed in that I was using a different telescope and mount for the first time, the SKYnyx camera and software which I had only used once before, on a laptop computer with a dead battery, recording with AmCap which I have essentially no experience with, in rather cold conditions, with lots of distractions. Lucky I was.
