PhotographerAlex ConuLocationBerceni, RomaniaDateMay 18th 2011EquipmentStellarvue SV80 ED with 2x Barlow and Canon EOS 450D camera. Baader solar filter.DescriptionI was lucky enough to capture the ISS transit visible from near Bucharest, Romania today. In not one, but two photos. The event happened 2 hours after Endeavour coupled with the ISS, so the shuttle is also visible in the image. My first try at this kind of astrophotography but I'm really happy with the results. |

We managed to capture the data in between clouds from our driveway in Hendersonville, TN, USA on the evening of May 8, 2011. Being new to planetary imaging, we were not expecting much, given the conditions, but were pleasantly surprised with the results. We still have lots to learn and plenty of room for improvement, but are really enjoying planetary imaging so far. |
