Bottletopburly Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 There's a ISS moon transit this tuesday for the more northerly midlanders if you are in this catchment area Chris P., +RonC, Tweedledee and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweedledee Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 And me at about 17.13pm. Visually it would definitely be "blink and you miss it". It will cross the top part of the crescent moon in less than half a second. It will cross the bright crescent then the dark side, so might be visible at some point. Really not sure what the illumination will be like on the ISS during daylight. I'm sure it would be near impossible without a camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinghamobservatory Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I think I am just about on the northern edge, but looking very overcast. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweedledee Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 It really does go fast. It took me several watches to even spot the ISS on the second video! +RonC and +Ibbo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
