Talking ISS Transits the Moon Video 3rd June

Who would have thought it!! The torrential rain stopped, the clouds cleared and I'm just so excited to have seen it!!
Here's the video I took.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZf4_P_m8ZU

I've stripped the bmp's out and am currently looking to see if I have any clear images of the ISS.
I shot at 50fps, so hopefully I might have one or two.

Sorry about the sound track, but you can always mute it.

I've added a single frame from the capture. I've applied some USM and Curves. But that's it. This is full res.

That is cool - I have not seen the ISS look so bright against the Moon - normally I have seen it as a black!

Exactly.
According to Heavens Above it was mag -2.3. Pretty close to what I estimated it to be at the time. I still didn't expect to see it shine bright like that against the Moon.
I'm uploading a single frame atm. You can almost make out the solar panels.
Shame I couldn't take hi res photos at the same time eh.

I can't believe the way the skies cleared up so quickly tonight.
I'm glad to see you were able to take such great advantage of it.
