There are not going to be any night-time flyovers of the two manned vehicles for the duration of this shuttle mission from my location, nor I suspect for any other observers. I believe tracking through the eyepiece in daytime should be easy, finding an appearence somewhere between observing Mars or Venus through the eyepiece during the daytime. What kind of procedure should be used for photography of the ISS or shuttle during the day? With the reduced contrast I've got the notion I should use something like a #23 or #25 red filter. My night camera of choice is the Astrovid Stellacam, should I use a less-sensitive camera for day tracking? Has anyone got a success story they'd like to share?
