Solar Transit by ISS+STS-114 finally imaged

The Best things come to those who wait.......

Keith..

A big thank you to all of my Irish friends for the kind words. I do have to admit that there is a huge sense of relief that this aspect of the marathon is finally over with.

However, I am only half-done, for I have been after solar AND/OR lunar transits the past four years which leaves as an outstanding item a lunar transit.

As usual, some patience ... and I will catch one!!!

Anthony.

Anthony, that's a great photo. And you made APOD today as well! Nice job!

Dear Friends,

I have been flooded with emails from people seeing my APOD as to how they can observe the ISS transitting against the sun and/or moon. Rather than keep answering the same question(s) with incessant emails back and forth, I have decided to prepare a web page which may be of interest to people here as well.

For those interested, please see www.perseus.gr/Astro-Tips-ISS-Transits.htm .

Thanks.

Anthony.

PS. Thanks Tom for the kind words.

And for the inspired can I again mention this little challenge:

IFAS ISS Imaging Challenge

Good Luck!

If you go to the site and select Limerick as your site, it puts you somewhere in wicklow, a small bug there :oops:
