International Space Station

well, not much to look at but this is my first attempt to take a picture of the International Space Station from my roof in Delhi. the sky was decent by Delhi standards, but suddenly the clouds covered the east and west, where the ISS was to pass(magnitude -1.1) . just managed a few glimpses through the clouds. not a great shot but still happy to catch it on some pixels.
Prime-focus on Celestron 4" Maksutov telescope. 1325mm focal length. f/13. 1/125sec. ISO800. Nikon D90. Guessed the camera settings and tracked by looking through the red dot finder. The image is a close-up crop from the full frame.
