The DW and I went out and saw the ISS fly over a few minutes ago.
Really bright and I used my Bushnell 10-30x50 binoculars with the tripod mount/ flimsy tripod. Didn't open the tripod up and rested it atop the side of my truck. Got really clear and stabile viewing. Easy to follow. Zoomed in Thought I could see the panels, but my DW says no way.
May go out in a few minutes and look for the HTV5 trying to catch the ISS.
Easily entertained when retired. Exciting!
Update: Got a glimpse of the HTV5 Japanese satellite for about 30 seconds low on the horizon.
Nothing until Sunday now
Missed it because of low clouds in the west
If you don't know if you saw panels with a 30x50 Binocs
am I wasting my time with 15-70 Binocs?
Anybody?:h
You should be fine if you can keep them steady. I can see them with my 7x50s and my son can see them naked eyed.
