Can someone give me some advice on how to do a decent photograph of the International Space Station on it's route over the UK this evening. It will be 10:28, so probably not completely dark at this time of year. The station will be pretty bright on this pass, magnitude -3.5. I was hoping to use my widest lens, my Sigma 17-70 f/3.5 and my Canon 400D body and see if I can get a long shot to make a trail, hopefully with a lot of the stars in view too. I have no idea how to set the settings for this. I'm also struggling because I have no remote for my camera, so I'm going to have to put it into bulb mode and tape the shutter down or something. Any tips?

Anyone? This is four hours away and I'm stuck.

That's genius, I'll remember that. Yeah, what I'm planning to do is use some heavy duty tape to tape the shutter down for the entire 4 minute pass, I suppose I could do it with mirror lockup turned on to stop any vibration that way, couldn't I? I'll definitely try and put something black over the lens before doing that, though.
