Howdy doody : )

Well The ISS Chase was like a Storm chase ? I was within 50m of center line location about an hr prio Transit, 20mins prior some cloud roll on the scene from the right as in attachment snaps, unprocessed.
I then decided to hit back on the M1 Hwy Nth approx 8k, knowing the ground path was aprrox 15k wide, supprisingly the transit was still well in the Moons disc ? maybe due to a slightly elevated location which I chose to hopefully aviod cloud which was charging in on the new posi. As it was, I took a 1280x720 size @ 50persec for 2mins, The transit happened very close to middle, and I have captured at the end, cloud swamping the moon :cool: but havent loaded all that, Just a cut of approx 5secs with the ISS (very small due to low alt) entering the moons disc at near 3:30'ish travelling left on screen and exiting near 7:30'ish.
The Utube vid needs to be selected/viewed in HD to see the action.
Hope you enjoy ?

A little hard to see and appreciate, only 900mm F/L, But Im glad that it was had, 1st attempt and waiting for the next time with higher Alt and more F/L , ,

Anyway, I have croped the Frames and put them through StarStax on Dark Mode to retain the ISS Positions ?
Also, it plays a bit slower this time.

Try again if you didnt see it, if you choose, is better @ HD 720, clearer & smoother !

Cheers Ralph, Hope the clouds Play Away for ya :thumbsup: I have passes here for about a week, but cloudy as well ? ?

Thanx Paula , , nothing spectacular but happy I captured it :thumbsup:

Cheers Marc, yep thats the line, 99 frames @ 50 fps, coincides with Calsky data with a 2sec transit, or 2.12secs if in the center :thumbsup: The ISS is only very small in this as the moons Altitude was only 10-12 deg , ,
