ISS cross in front of the Moon

[iceman]

I got a CalSky alert that the ISS was going to cross in front of the Moon from my location tonight (in about 4 minutes).

So I'm out here, all set up. Excited and hoping to capture it.

Then had a look more closely and realised that the centerline is about 200m East of my backyard, so it's going to be a very near miss from here :(

Damn!

Next time I need to look more closely!

Ouch – so close!

Are you sure, Mike?

The track width is usually 6-7 kms wide... 200m is near enough to on the centreline if you ask me.

Shame you missed it, but to be honest that isn't hard (to miss it;))! I've had a couple of opportunities to try to catch it crossing the moon or sun... but so far haven't been successful.
