What a great way to demonstrate how fast the ISS is going! Thanks. For a second I thought the mosquito season started early here.

You need to go on transit-finder.com to find what time you can see a transit and just be ready to shoot!

Beautiful capture! 😍 I still don't have an ISS moon transit yet but I was able to capture a solar transit a few years ago πŸ›°οΈ https://youtu.be/1gI_soodNmo?si=marFnFvXJaVefv_m

@ Thank you. Cool. I have the ZWO FF130… let’s wait when the ISS crosses the moon the other end of Switzerland :-)

Huh. To me, that looks more like a TIE fighter from above. Or, in the final image, a whole row of TIE fighters.

@FrkMC β€” I am fully aware of what it is. I also know what it looks like to me. Those two things are not necessarily the same thing.
