ISS crossing the Moon

[satcomsta]

That is just one amazing capture. Hats off to you!

Thanks for the replies everyone!

Yeah, exactly. The moon was high in the sky, so the transit only lasted 0.6s, and I was pretty much exactly on the centre line of the transit.

The camera can capture (I think) 3.5fps, so in theory I was guaranteed to get at least one shot with the ISS on the moon. I was clicking manually though. The memory card I'd ordered for the camera hadn't turned up, so I had to control it from a laptop and transfer the images immediately, and I couldn't work out how to setup automatic continuous shooting using it in the short time I had.

And, as with my Sun transit, I got exactly one frame with the ISS on it, and it happened to be pretty central.

Regards,

Carl.

That's absolutely stunning.

How do you work out when there will be a transit like that for your location ?

I found this site: Heavens-Above Home Page

remember to put your location details in then select ISS.

I've not used this but found it whilst browsing.
