ISS transit of moon tonight.

[MilwaukeeLion]

Intl space station crossing moon this evening, about a second for entire transit.  ED80 refractor - asi 178mm - mono8 avi - flattener - no filter.  Glad to capture, just didn't give myself enough set up time for optimal settings.  Connected camera / started sharpcap had 30 seconds before pass to focus, set gain/exposure/hit capture.  Exp bit high - gain bit low so not best detail.  Almost made it across before frames started dropping like flies.

Well done ML, not transiting the Moon here but it is passing above the Moon and Saturn tonight at around 2300hrs so may get some sort of picture if the clouds go away.

that's fabulous!  It's especially relevant with the anniversary of the Apollo landings and the constant stream of conspiracy theorists desparate to peddle their theories.
