I've seen photos of the ISS taken with telescopes and special tracking mounts, but I wanted to challenge myself to take a recognisable photo of the ISS using a handheld consumer grade camera. The Nikon P1000 has the longest zoom lens of any superzoom camera, it'll run up to 125 times magnification, a focal length of 3000mm . But tracking the ISS with a handheld camera is not trivial, and ultimately it wasn't my wobbly hands that were the limit but the wobbly air.

If you want to see what a Pro can do with satellite photography then I suggest checking Thierry Legault's website
