About this image

Weather prospects were not good but noticed I had an ISS solar transit about 10 miles south of me. Lucky enough to capture a video of the transit between clouds. Transit lasted about half a second and the ISS was 473km away. Frames from video during transit stacked in Starstax and processed in Registax & Faststone. Sorry I missed upper part of sun! It only just fitted sensor and tracking was very non optimal!
