Let's see your lunar transits!

I posted a similar thread in the solar section - I always love to see airplanes transit the moon when I'm imaging.   Let's see what you've got!

Anything counts that was between your camera and the moon: aircraft, planets, birds, space station, etc. Here is my one and only processed effort so far:

That's a beauty ... 

None of these so far personally ...

OK here's mine, another ISS lunar transit.

Mel, how did you manage to capture that?

Was it a well timed single shot using an slr or some other way?

Hi Anthony

It was shot with a DMK41 camera at 15fps so I had about 20 frames with it on, tricking bit was driving 10 miles at 3am on a winters morning to get to a site in the middle of nowhere to catch it. I have shot solar transits with a DSLR in the past which are relatively easy as you know to the exact 100th of a second when it's going to occur so you just start shooting a few seconds earlier. I use the Calsky website to predict the transits which I think is far better than heavensabove.

Thats great, thank you very much.

An old one and to be honest I have not got the faintest clue what it was.

Great pics!

Dave and Mel, wow, I'd love to get a space station transit shot.

Jarrod, that looks cool and most mysterious   My vague guess looking at your pics on flickr would be that it's a weather balloon. There's a shot of one here:

How often do satellite/ISS lunar transits occur?  Would definitely be a fun challenge to attempt something like that.  I checked the Calsky website and it doesn't show anything soon in my area, but I'm assuming that's normal.  Are we talking once a month, once a year?

I know, I'm full of questions.     Everyone here is just full of information though so I try to soak up all I can.
