Sun 11th April plus ISS transit

[tich]

Here are some images I took of the Sun yesterday afternoon plus an ISS transit which is my first time I've ever captured one so quite pleased about that, seeing wasn't the best again due to haze but I pushed the PST's I think about as much as I could to get anything from them. The close ups I popped in a TAL 3X Barlow which worked pretty well I thought although after all the stacking & head scratching a rest is needed today I think.

I never knew about this site until yesterday Mick my mate Andy I think he is Andyboy1970 on here gave me a heads up so I thought I'd have a shot at it.
I've got another transit on the 21st 9:08AM to have a go at if the weather is good so I'll be having another go at that one to. 
Someone said to me recently is very addictive so after my first go I think they could be right 🙂
Yup keeping busy Tony gotta do something with this social distancing although I have still been going to work which I'm not overjoyed about with the current situation.
Thanks Dave fingers crossed we can catch up at a star party somewhere soon!!!

Found one for my location, just have to get  the PST out and remember how to set it up for imaging before Wednesday. ..

Might be an idea to do a few practice runs if you can first, good luck & hope you manage to get it.

I have at last got around to processing the ISS transit data from April. Bit out of focus (but its difficult when there are no features on the sun to focus on).

Will have another go when one comes around again.

Excellent set of images.

Nice one Mick I managed three ISS passes all within a month although it's gone pretty quiet now, strangely the first one I did came out better than the next two.  I do have a chance of a daytime Lunar pass on the 30th so might have a bash at that so could prove to be interesting.

Nothing at my location for the next month.
