Hopefully we'll get a video of the event.

A view of Earth as seen from the Cupola on the Earth-facing side of the International Space Station. Visible in the top left foreground is a Russian Soyuz crew capsule. In the lower right corner, a solar array panel can be seen.

This photo was taken from the ISS on June 12, 2013.

You would have thought they could afford better quality video.

Pegasus XL with the IRIS payload launches on the 26th.
 
Looking to get into astrophotography (free trips to IOW so can get to the outer side couple times a month) and have found this telescope which allows for conversion:

To me that looks good, it's decently specced to start with and the reviews state good build quality as well.

Anything I'm missing here?

Wrong thread, take a look in the astronomy thread where we have people taking pictures. If you search the photo forum there will be info in there as well.
