ISS transits the rising moon

great work!

Would be cool to see the video

Erik,

I do owe you an apology for I do have a copy of the video and the ten key frames available for download in ZIP format (2.77 Mb). It will give you a VERY good appreciation of how quickly things transpire.

Anyway, here is the link if you are interested: perseus.gr/Downloads/AVI-0003-iss-20060414.zip ...

Clear skies!

Anthony.

Thx, i slowed it down half speed in movie maker still fast

Erik,

The complete transit lasted a "whopping" 0.85 seconds and in spite of the fact that it bisected the lunar disk in half. Now add the reduced field of view so that I can get reasonable definition and image scale and you can extrapolate that the transit across my field of view was around 1/3rd of a second. Way too fast for comfort .... however, I was relieved I did not have any motion in the individual frames thanks to my selection for 1/500" exposures.

So Impressive !
What more can I say !

Dear Friends (and Seanie :lol: )

Grrrr!! :lol:

Anyway, this capture serves as a basis for a better transit capture next time. I hope you enjoy the following image: www.perseus.gr/Astro-Sat-Trans-2006-04-14.htm

Clear skies and best wishes from Greece!

Anthony.

Seanie.
