Description

Lucky to capture this one, I could not have planned this transit to barely miss the schoolhouse roof:

First, created 4 composites:
 - PixInsight: Star Align + Integration
 - Photoshop: Manual foreground alignment and median blend of 8 shots, then an ISS Transit composite using Lighten blending (plus some Clone Stamp to clean up small gaps in ISS trail due to shutter cycle)

PixInsight:
 - Curves vibrance
 - Range Mask to selectively brighten foreground and darken sky
 - Extracted B channel, ran DBE, ImageSolver (R/G had too much glow to work)
 - Copied coordinates to Star image and rendered Annotated copy

Photoshop:
 - Blended Foreground onto Star image
 - Blended clean ISS trail onto the above
 - Created image copy with Annotation blended onto background sky
