First time on video : ISS crosses the sun on two consecutive orbits

Space News

Hi everyone....

On August 14 ISS crossed the sun on two consecutive orbits , as seen from NW UK.
Unusually the sky stayed clear allowing me to make a 120 mile round trip to capture both events on video.

As far as I know , this has never been done before.

You can read an account of my epic voyage , and see animations of the passes here.

Hope you enjoy them :O)

Best wishes

John.
