Hi Tom

You managed to get more frames of the ISS and a larger section of the Sun too – a terrific shot. The animation really illustrates so well, the miniscule time frame in which to record this event.

Thanks again for your informative posts on these events and I am humbled by your relatively low-tech approach, setting up some 10 minutes before the event and focusing with just the rear LCD on the camera. I had set up my rig by 12 noon and used a Notebook to frame and focus. Even so, those last 10 minutes had my nerves on edge as I saw you wrestling with your DOB and hand controller as the minutes ticked away like seconds.

Cheers

Dennis
