Just going to have mine pointing upwards, opened to 18mm ISO200 and leave shutter open for 30 seconds and see what happens. Looks like the weather is starting to clear so might be a good night.

The ISS is over at 10.03pm, remember its got the shutle attached so it should be brighter than normal. There is also a really bright Iridium flare at 3 minutes past midnight.

Hi Karl
Set it to iso 100,manual,F8 or F11 and work your way upwards checking exposures.30 sec exposure and use mirror lock up and a tripod.You really need a remote release.If you have got one set the camera to bulb and try exposures of 1 min,2 min,3 min etc.SHOOT IN RAW.Keep the moon out of the picture and hope the clouds bugger off.
