OK, so this is my second attempt at capturing the ISS transit of the moon, just a night after my first attempt. I only to drive 45 minutes up the highway this time. No generator or equipment issues this time. The weather was touch and go with clouds covering the moon right up to about 20 secs before the transit. I was very particular with my location to try and get the ISS down the middle of the moon.
Also unlike my first attempt the ISS was in shadow, however the solar panels were square on to the camera (earth). I actually prefer this transit.
Here''s a link to my first attempt.
ISS Transit of the Moon ( Matt Hughes ) - AstroBinThere is another transit tonight about 200km away however we have just been placed in lockdown so will be unable to capture it (forecast was clear too...).
