Details:

I imaged the ISS from my backyard on 7-01-19 at 4:26 AM EST! This ISS image is at Max Pass 84° point and not in full Sunlight at that time because of the Earth's curve and point of view to the ISS. The Sun was only at -9.4°. I will share more images of this ISS pass when I have the time. The telescope was an Edge HD 14" with an Astrodon Red filter on a ZWO ASI174 mono camera and 1.6 X barlow lens. I also now have it all in my new Moonlite Focuser with Stepper Motor and new Hand Controller (Battery Operated).At the time of ISS pass the Seeing and Transparency was "Average" with Clear Skies. I also added an image of my uptodate ISS Tracking Setup modification. Kind Regards to all.

Cool image! With better conditions, may it be possible to resolve an astronaut during an EVA?

Mr. Ed Lomeli (Euclid)....You asked me May it be possible to resolve an astronaut during an EVA? The answer is YES. Under ALL the right conditions it is possible. Go to this link and see my friend Thierry Legault did just that. http://www.astrophoto.fr/STS-133.html You will see the first image ever taken from the ground, of an astronaut in extravehicular activity (EVA1). Steve Bowen, attached to the end of the ISS robotic arm (MSS), was working on a defective ammonia pump. The pump was hooked to the ISS mobile base system (MBS). All major elements of the robotic arm are visible, including the structures of the motorized joints and some elements along the arms (smaller than the astronaut). Hope this answers your question. As I said it is possible to get the Sun to reflect off the astronaut during an EVA if in an open space like on the end of the ISS Robotic Arm that Thierry Legault was lucky to be in the right place at the right time under the right seeing conditions. Please Note:Thierry Legault is the best ISS imager in my opinion.
