So, who has some pictures from a telescope that can show me a satellite, please no fake CGI images.?

NASA has no monopoly on space pictures. 15% of the observing time on the Hubble space telescope belongs to the European Space Agency because they paid 15% of the cost. There are astronomical telescopes, both radio and visible all over the world in which NASA has never had any interests and does not control.

Now, I saw the shield of Sputnik I in 1957 while lying on my back in Kevin & Marilyn Gaskell's back yard. That was launched by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics before NASA existed. I've seen the International Space Station as well, both without telescopes or even binoculars. Much of the ISS does not belong to NASA either. Best time to look is just after sundown if it is passing over your place because then it is still in sunlight.

There is something bogus here and it's not NASA or any other space agency. It's you.

Will you settle for seeing the ISS for yourself- no telescope needed?

The link below tells you when to look, given your location.

Edit: BB, point taken; the following is easier to use when it comes to setting your location: https://spotthestation.nasa.gov/sightings/

Original poster: the reason no telescope is needed is, as Adam D says, that the ISS is a naked eye object. If you choose not to believe the evidence of your own unassisted eyes...

look at the sky yourself and you can see all the satellites you like. when something is the size of a filing cabinet or a small car and has lots of shiny surfaces illuminated by the very bright sun of space, you'll see it from earth.

iss is non-stellar to the naked eye but shows no detail. shuttles were bright and non-stellar as well, the size of a 727 and painted eggshell white.

I get the feeling you could be shoved in front of a telescope and you'd still say it was CGI.

The ISS in front of the Moon.

It's kind of hard to take photos of satellites from the ground, because they appear to move fast. But with the right equipment and skill, you can do it from your back yard.

"Nasa does have a 19 billion dollar budget and a monopoly when it comes to space pictures"

your brand of fake skepticism just isn't interesting enough to make the effort to point out your errors.

troll harder.

I do. I know it is not too clear, it was moving kinda fast. I have to work on my technique and camera settings, it was the first night I tried.
