ISS crosses the Sun

Space News

Once again , the opportunity arose to catch ISS crossing the Sun from my location in the UK

This time I decided to reduce the field of view in order to maximise the size of the target.
Despite last minute gremlins a good frame was captured showing a detailed station against the backdrop of the solar surface.

The result is now posted on my website
http://www.satcom.freeserve.co.uk
via the ISS Lunar and Solar transit link.

Best wishes,

john.
