Looking for a program that can tell me when the ISS can be seen against the sun or moon


Recommended Posts

Pretty much what the title says.

I can track ISS with Stellarium, but it's not immediately possible to pinpoint when it'll be in front of the sun or the moon at my location. Is there an easy way or a program to determine this?

It's a dream of mine to get a picture of ISS in front of the moon or the sun.

Yes, as @Mognet says… and I’ve used Transit finder to successfully image the ISS transit the sun. It obviously gets more accurate as you near a transit date/time, but for me it was very much bang on around 24 hrs beforehand.
