ISS luna transit tomorrow morning - Melbourne

[rustigsmed]

Hi all,

I was checking Stellarium - looks like the ISS transits the moon for part of Melbourne tomorrow morning.

I had a quick look in stellarium and it appears from about Elwood (maybe a bit further north) - Carrum the ISS will transit the moon (noting the further north it goes over the dark half of the luna surface).

6.20-6.25am ish

Now who is going to brave the 1 degree forecast? :lol:

I caught the lunar transit this morning in Brisbane (see attached pic). My first successful capture despite some thin clouds rolling in to degrade the quality. I went for a safe 4K video capture on a Panasonic Lumix G9 at 60fps (ISO 200, 1/2000s). It was attached to a Sky Watcher 100ED. Next time, I'll try burst mode but am limited to 50 frames. Timing is everything for ISS.
