Description

We had a fortunate opportunity to nab the ISS in Earth's shadow transit the moon - right from our stationary club observatory housing a C14! Because of the high focal length involved combined with path uncertainty , I oriented the long edge of the sensor perpendicular to the best path estimate. I nearly got it centered by splitting the difference between the Stellarium prediction and the transit-finder.com prediction.

To acquire and process, I had independent LRGB videos taken sequentially after the event, and extracted/stacked 7 frames captured with L with the ISS (manual alignment and average combination).
