I Captured the ISS During the Day

My first ever attempt at this, I was really surprised i was able to get it.

To find it, I manually located Venus first, then used astrohopper on my phone as a reference to confirm the alignment. I had already saved the ISS’s RA/DEC for a specific time, so once venus was centered, I pointed the telescope to those coordinates. After that, I watched through the finder scope and waited for the ISS to pass through. It lined up perfectly, and I was able to track it manually from there.

Unfortunately I was a bit out of focus, so i didn’t get the full potential of what this image could’ve been. I will definitely try this again my next opportunity.
