I saw ISS/shuttle pass over at 17:07 (43 deg alt), but was unable to see the next orbital pass at 18:42 (17 deg alt).

I used the power supply from the MX7C with the MX9 -- big mistake: it caused moire patterns in the images and the supply got rather hot, even a few very weird frames. After I started using the MX916 power supply the images were very clean! At 01:30 it clouded over suddenly, but it was good timing because I wanted to go to bed anyways!

The following variable stars were imaged with the MX916 (binned 2x2) and a Johnson V filter:
