Świetna fotka Catalin!

 

I had solar session today but...forgot about the event... Shame on me

[catfus]

Thanks Pablito!

 

Did you had also a transit in your area? It is usually on a very narrow band (5-6km)...you can check with calsky.com.

catfus, you've pretty "killed" us all with this photograph. amazing work, amazing quality.

Thanks Columbo,

 

Poland gave me the opportunity to catch 2 solar transits of the ISS, both shortly after undocking of the Shuttle. First one is made in March and here it is.

The moment is better in the March transit but unfortunately, sun was low in the sky and hence the distance to the ISS bigger so the size was smaller.

 

Hopefully the next ISS transit will have same good timing!!
