Hi all. Just under an hour ago , at 1227 gmt , I was lucky enough to be right on the centre line for a solar transit by ISS. The station was nearly 900 kilometres downrange , weather conditions here , broken cloud , winds gusting 50 mph plus. Fortunately , a break in the cloud just at the right time allowed me to capture the transit as ISS shot straight through Sunspot group 551 ! Result for broad band users can be seen here,,,, http://mysite.freeserve.com/satcom_transits on my webpage , or here : http://mysite.freeserve.com/satcom_transits/ISSFEB8.gif , which is a direct link to the gif animation ( 1.8 mb) I hope to get a smaller size file up and running shortly at : http://www.satcom.freeserve.co.uk/isstrans.htm (By following the "WirralCam" link , in the left frame of the animation you can also see just what the weather conditions are like here at present ) Best wishes, John. http://www.satcom.freeserve.co.uk/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
