The largest man-made object in space that I have imaged is the International Space Station (ISS). About the size of the Eiffel tower it also flies in an orbit at a height of just over 400km. Culminating usually at lower altitudes than the zenith brings the imaging distance close to the distance from InFINNity Deck to the Eiffel-tower. The ISS is about 109m wide, which is as wide as the Eiffel-tower's base.

On 30 March I tried to image ISS for the second time using the same equipment as the day before, but this time using a 4x Powermate, making the Celestron C11 XLT EdgeHD f/40 (focal length 11,176mm). The distance between InFINNity Deck and ISS was about 580km at this recording.

On 29 March 2021 I gave it my first attempt using the Celestron C11 XLT EdgeHD, 2x PowerMate (so f/20) and ZWO ASI174MM camera. Tracking was done by programming the orbital parameters in the mount, after which the mount automatically tracks the space station in two axis.
