Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

My first transit of the ISS over the Sun (or Moon). Had the good company of Carole Pope, a long time member of our common Orpington Astronomical Society. Imaged from a park just off the A223 in SE London. Details of the transit from https://transit-finder.com/:

Friday 2022-06-10, 16:00:19.62
ISS angular size: 47.63″
Az.: 248.2°; Alt.: 45.2°
Transit duration: 0.83 s
Angular separation: 0.21′

Took the 2 panel panorama of the Sun before the transit (best 250 frames out of 5000 per panel, 1ms, 146fps). A big passing cloud covered the Sun minutes before the transit but but thankfully it moved off just as it was starting...all of its 0.82s glory!

For the path composition I used StarStax 0.7 for the first time. Great piece of software. 34 frames chosen to show sufficient spacing.

If anyone has any ideas on how to overlay the path composition over the full disc mosaic, please let me know!

Gif obtained from PIPP/SER viewer and made up of the 136 single frames in which the station was visible.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
