ISS flies in front of the Sun
Today, on June 3rd, 2023, the clear skies offered me another successful photography of the International Space Station transit in front of the Sun. Taken from Uhlířov, Czech Republic, as a sequence on a 1.1m telephoto lens, when ISS was about 508.9 km far from me and the whole transit took only 0.73 seconds. Lots of sunspots in the solar photosphere made the photography even more dramatic. Such a lucky moment!
Used Canon Ra, MTO 1100mm (AstroSolar Baader folia), f10.5, ISO 2500, 1/8000s exposures.
