Whilst imaging the Sun on Friday I got a nice surprise:-

You just wait til it happens when you're at the eyepiece . . I went backwards off the stool and ended up in the flowerbed .

I once saw a plane fly across the moon. Shame my camera wasn't pointed at it!

I was just thinking that if that happened to me when I was at the eyepiece I'd probably have to go in for a change of trousers

Luckily I was just in my dressing gown at the time , and plenty of Dock leaves about . . .

Excellent capture, I'd love to have that happen while I was imaging.

Would be even better if it where the ISS

WAAHH!

I had this full screen and it made me jump!

Think I was expecting a prominence...

Thanks for the comments!

That would be really cool if the ISS went past as I was imaging. I'll just have to keep imaging & hope to be that I'm lucky enough to eventually capture it!

Most of the people who have viewed it have said the same thing Beulah. I got a fright when I was imaging it & had to replay it to make sure that I wasn't seeing things. Once I had confirmed I was pretty chuffed to have caught it.

You don't need luck. You need CalSky

Thanks for the heads up James, I'll take a look at that.

You need CalSky and luck . . .
