  • I planned photographing the ISS transit in front of the moon with transit-finder.com. Several times transits for my locations were predicted but due to orbital corrections of the international space station ruined it. But this time, the prediction has not been corrected and so I waited outside with my telescope and camera.
    The transit has been predicted for 13th January 2022 at 21:15 UT for my location in my hometown Bad Mergentheim, southern Germany.
    The transit itself was over in only 0.4 seconds. So it was very important that the camera settings were right and the clock was set correctly. The was only one attempt!
    I captured the transit and also the complete moon surface so that I could process the complete moon.
    The setup I used:
    ASI 178 MM mono camera
    TS 130 mm f/6.6 triplet apochromatic refractor
    f= 860 mm, f/6.6
    TS 1.0x variable flattener
    t= 1/2500 sec, Gain 130
    Thanks for watching!
