    Hi all ,
    
    If it is of any help , I captured this morning's ISS pass to video , and
    have placed some frames on my webpage.(Underneath the Balkan stuff)
    The rotation can be seen....perhaps Phil can confirm the mode for us.
    
    Conditions were clear but I again underestimated the brightness of the pass
    , consequently images are slightly bright.However for anyone who fancies
    labelling the various bits , there's enough info there to keep you going for
    a while :O)
    
    Have fun,
    
    John
