I was finally able to get my first solar transit today. Previous attempts have all been failures - some just due to clouds, but most due to my mistakes. Luckily I didn't have to drive anywhere for this one. I thought about going to where the angle would have had the ISS going right across the middle, but it worked out better because the resulting image makes it look like the ISS was dodging the sunspots. The ISS is pretty close in this sequence, about 330 miles away, so I was able to get reasonable detail. It's moving right to left at 17K mph. All images captured within 0.6 seconds. Scaled down a little for TFF: ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/08/full-18456-236374-20240805_transit_iss_sun_01_1k.png) Full size: ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/08/full-18456-236375-20240805_transit_iss_sun_02.png) 2x showing some detail and highlighting separation between the solar panels: ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/08/full-18456-236376-20240805_transit_iss_sun_03_2x.png) Transit info (via transit-finder.com) ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/08/full-18456-236377-20240805_transit_info.png)
