ISS over the Moon – April 2, 2017

Scroll down to content

My first transit of the ISS over a celestial body for 2017. The celestial body this time was our Moon. I’ve observed this transit together with my wife and a few other enthusiasts under a very transparent sky, with the Sun still hanging above the western horizon at the time of the transit. As for almost all these events, I had some issues with the acquisition, but the end result shows the shape of the Space Station nicely. Equipment: 115mm F/7 APO Refractor, 2.5x Powermate, ASI 174MM with UV/IR cut filter.
