International Space Station Transit - a photo on Flickriver

            A November International Space Station (ISS) Sun Transit from Maryland. I do like that it includes some nice sunspots as well. Great to cap off the astro year for photography that included shooting the solar eclipse, northern lights, milky way and a comet.

I took this with my solar eclipse tracking setup. I used transit-finder.com to find out when it would transit somewhat near me. The path jumps around quite a bit, so it takes a lot of checking. Evidently, the time isn’t always spot-on either so take that into consideration when calculating frame rate. I ran into that issue on a different attempt.

tech details: 24 frames during a transit duration of 1.18 seconds; Nikon Z8 at 700mm tracked using iOptron SkyGuider Pro. It was also windy, so I added some weight to the tripod base for stability.
