    Has anyone tried to view the ISS in shadow through a guided telescope?
    I ask this b/c I've seen the ISS/Shuttle stack after midnight through
    binoculars:

    Consensus was that it was the shuttle's payload bay lights, but is there a
    chance that there are lights on the station that might be visible?
