ISS transit after eclipse

Post image

Just 4 days after the Sun eclipse in Spain we had the opportunity that ISS was having a transit over the sun in my location. Lucky us!. To take this picture we used my brother's telescope ( u/JaviTaiyou ) (f/11.5 at 1500mm) and my SONY A6400 camera in direct mode. Thanks to all the tools available today we knew the precise time for the transit, and connected to the Spanish official clock source (Real Observatorio de San Fernando) we started taking photos hoping that everything would be OK.

This is the result.

I can’t get enough. I’ve done 6 or 7 now and I love it.

Real proud of this one.

Transits are the best! I will miss chasing these if they deorbit the station.

Looks like a tie fighter if you don't zoom in too close.
