ISS Daylight Lunar Transit....just

[melsky]

This is the first time I've tried to view an ISS daylight lunar transit and to be honest I wasn't expecting to see anything, it came as a big surprise that the ISS was brighter than the moon

I thought it was going to be a dim silhouette, maybe it was because the sun was at the same altitude 80 degrees away? Calsky had the mag as -2.5

Well I only just caught it at the bottom of the frame, Sanmatt also captured a widefield video of it and my wife saw it easily in binoculars, has anyone else tried this?

Thanks Freddie

It was a standard Canon 600D in x3 HD movie mode through a William Optics FLT110 (the video is croppped a bit)

That's really good Mel. As you say, surprising that it wasn't a silhouette but all the better for it.

That's amazing. I have yet to capture a lunar transit though now have caught quite a few solar ones.

Terrific, Mel. Amazed at the clarity with the structure and panels so clearly defined.

That's cracking Mel, nicely done.

This is my effort. Very windy so there was a lot of movement, but at least managed to get something.
