[AstroFest] Lunar transit by ISS

[Camelopardalis]

Folks,

On the last night of AstroFest, we were fortunate enough to be treated to the ISS transiting the crescent Moon. The ISS passed from NW to SE (right to left as imaged) at a fair old clip, crossing my (roi)FOV in about 1.3 seconds :eyepop:

Here's my montage...

Oooh that's lovely. More like the shot that I was trying to get in terms of exposure. Nice detail on the ISS. :thumbsup:

[Camelopardalis]

Thanks Troy! The Moon was still really bright, so it was a tricky exposure balance.

That's fantastic Dunk. Congratulations.

Really nice work.:thumbsup:

We watched this from Brisbane and from our suburb, the ISS just skimmed the non-illuminated side of the Moon.
