Sunspot and a Spaceship !
Hi all.
At 1227 gmt , on Sunday , Feb 8 I was lucky enough to be right on the
centre line for a solar transit by ISS.
The station was nearly 900 kilometres downrange , weather conditions here ,
broken cloud , winds gusting 50 mph plus.
Fortunately , a break in the cloud just at the right time allowed me to capture the transit as ISS shot straight through Sunspot group NOAA 0551 !
Result for broad band users can be seen here on my webpage , or here, which is a direct link to the gif animation ( 1.8 mb)
A smaller size file is up and running at :

Enjoy your visit .
Best wishes,
John.
