ISS transits Saturn - strewth!

This has to be the arsey-est montage ever!

Apparently (according to CalSky), the track path-width to get the ISS imaged right over the planet's disc was just 40 metres.

Astonishing scope+camera work & excellent GPS localisation!

Yes it is a composite image, see the discussion on Asterisk.

Click here for thread discussing the image. Julian Wessel admits its two separate images from different capturing sessions. It's a bit of a sad day to see this happen, but I am unsurprised this has happened.

I got pretty close some years ago....

Close...but no cigar.

That said, I have a much more sensitive PGR camera these days...and suspect
an encore attempt is required

Sigh. Not cool to have created an artificial representation of the transit.
Peter, great effort getting Jove and ISS that close.....
