That's really nice David, from what I can see it's really difficult to get this to work.

Its quite fun trying to catch the fleeting transit. Fortunately CalSkys timings are very accurate. It’s a pity this one was early in the day so that the ISS was very distant. It’s amazing that it is possible to photograph such small object at a distance of 450 miles. David
