HST lunar transit

Hi all,

I captured my first Hubble Space Telescope lunar transit last night. I used the 50D and 70-200 f/4L at maximum frame rate (6.3 fps), with 1/250 sec exposures at f/4, and 400 iso. The resulting images were used to produce this animation. The predicted magnitude of the HST was 1.5 (Calsky), but I think it was a bit brighter than that.

The 1.1 meg animation is here:

Thanks for looking!

Cheers,
Stephen
