We are again looking into the heavens. Following the ISS on those evenings where it has longer fly-overs. The DW asked if we would be able to follow it using a telescope and get a better view. I realize that it would mean constant adjustment. How difficult is it with an amateur telescope? I've used your suggestion of a monopod for the binoculars with some success, the DW can't handle it.
I suppose that anything is possible but it'd be **** hard. A telescope's field of view is very narrow and even finding relatively stationary stars is a challenge by hand. Acquiring a moving object would be nearly impossible.
What is your wife have trouble with?
