ISS transit of the sun

[kerrylewis]

Just seen a transit of the sun by the ISS. I decided to use the transit-finder.com website and give it a try.

Boy is it quick! Reading the information on the website I was expecting a transit time of 45 seconds but I had misread it  - actually 0.45 seconds! I obviously didn't think about it much because I should realise that the ISS would go a long way in 45s! Brain cells ossifying at an alarming rate.

No sunspots to use for accurately setting the focus so it was a bit blurred  - I thought it must be a bird at first! 

One must try the things I suppose 😀

Got a CalSky alert for that one, too far north for me but at least it wasn't in the middle of the North Sea like some of their alerts 😂
