Yet Another ISS Moonshot...

[Trull]

This is from 29th Dec, the International Space Station flying at an altitude of 409km, whilst 785km away from me, passed in-front of the moon. It took 0.63seconds, and I used the burst shutter mode (0.01sec 400iso) on a Canon 20D at prime focus connected to my Vixen ED103swt refractor astride a Vixen GP-DX mount tracking the moon.

I do have another frame where it crosses the limb, but I need better processing to actually show it!

Comments/thoughts are welcome.

That's a beautiful moon pic and the ISS is the icing on the cake. Nice one.

You can capture ISS at 1/100th second shutter speed? Always thought you need at least a second or so. Dayumn.

Thank you very much again for the kind comments.

All you need to do is to keep an eye on ISS transits at Calsky and try.
