My first ISS transit of the Moon.
Yesterday evening I set up to try and shoot a transit of the ISS over the Moon.
I used an old Celestron 80mm ED telescope and a ZWO ASI174MM astronomy camera on one of my portable tracking mounts (Skywatcher AZ-GTI). The camera captures video at 130+ frames per second.
I took the video (about 2000 frames) into PIPP that broke it up into the individual frames.

I then scanned through the frames looking for the ISS (I knew from watching the video it was about half way in).
I found it moving across in 16 frames. I then processed one frame in DxO Photolab.

I’m working on an animated gif of the crossing as well as a stacked image of it.
Awesome
Damn congrats on this incredible timing!
