About this image

Up at 3am local time, drove along deserted country roads for 20km to vantage point next to ruined church & graveyard (not for the faint-hearted!). 45 minutes to set up capture image and dismantle equipment, another 40 minutes to get back home to bed. It was a success, but I won't be doing this again in a hurry! Video edited with Veedub, frames with ISS extracted with PIPP and superimposed with Affinity Photo. The transit lasted 0.75s and was pretty close (timings and path across the lunar surface) to predictions in ISS transit finder.
