AR 2671 + 2672 and ISS

[john2y]

Hey guys,

So basicaly I've been planning this one particular transit for more than a month. I have a few pictures of ISS already but taken at night and I always wanted a disc transit. I knew that this one will be visible from my location and it is gonna be right across the center of the sun. About 30 minutes before the transit the power went out and since I didn't have enough batteries my telescope was dead. I was really frustrated but I have managed to loosen some screws on my mount so I could control it by hand. When it finally happend I got three nice shots of the ISS. It was so quick! Just 0.85s. What do you guys think

Equipment used: Celestron Nexstar 127 SLT, Canon 100D and Baader solar film
