PhotographerDavid LernerLocationNear Vincentown, NJDate2:50 EDT 07-08-07EquipmentMeade Lx90GPS 8 SCT, IR Filter, Orion Solar Filter, Spc900NC webcamDescriptionCalsky.com gave the time, centeline path, and path across the sun for the 7-8-07 ISS Solar Transit. The predicted path across the disk indicated that the ISS should pass close to the sunspot. I got everything framed, focused, waited for the right time. At transit, I saw a flash across the screen. I opened up the AVI, scanned across the frames and was THRILLED to see I had at leaset one frame that captured both the ISS and Sunspot 963. Imagine my delight to later discover I cpatured 3 frames of the ISS passing |

PhotographerMiguel ClaroLocationAlmada -PortugalDate30/06/07 at 21h37EquipmentHP Photosmart 850. ISO100 Expo. 1/0.4" F-3DescriptionSaturn, Venus and "Cristo Rei" (translation: Christ the King) In this picture we can see the planet Saturn in conjunction with Venus underneath of the base of the monument Christ the King. Is a Catholic monument overlooking Lisbon, capital of Portugal. It was inspired by the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and inaugurated on May 17, 1959. In that time Portugal was being ruled by the dictator António de Oliveira Salazar, and it was by his command that the Cristo-Rei was built. The base of the monument, by architect António Lino, is in the form of a gate, standing 75 m (246 ft) tall. At the top is a statue of Christ the Redeemer, designed by sculptor Francisco Franco de Sousa, 28 m (92 ft)-tall. At the base of the statue is an observation deck (altitude: 184 m / 604 ft) providing panoramic views of Lisbon and of the 25 de Abril Bridge, which is located to its immediate left. |
