China Moon

CalSky....a fabulous web site BTW....indicated I had a few Sun/Moon crossing
satellite events coming my way, but looking at the numbers the transit times
were incredibly short, and angular sizes equally so...hence I figured getting any result at all, was going to be a tough technical exercise.

Begging the question can a 12" AP Honders resolve something about the size of a bus, moving at 8km/sec, some 700km away?

While the result looks like teeny fly-specs across the moon...the answer is yes!
