Description

After several years of trying and lots of near misses I finally got a good planetary transit by the International Space Station.
I used Ed Morana's "ISS Transit Prediction" android app couple with Stellarium & Google Earth to find the ideal shooting location, which in this case was very close to my home  (in fact the earliest prediction indicated the transit would occur on our farm ! )
3 of the Galilean moons can just be made out to the left.

I used a 10" F4 GSO Newtonian, Televue 2x Powermate and ASI294MC-Pro on a SkyWatcher EQ6-R mount and used Sharpcap Pro for the video capture.
