Doesn't this mean that with the right photographic set-up at the right time and place, it might be possible to get the silhouette of ISS traversing the at least penumbrally eclipsed Moon on an in-shadow pass -- weather permitting? E.g. (Thanks, Rob!), here are the locations in Texas: 2003/05/16 4:22:00 28.3934 -100.5052 (Texas/Mexico border) 2003/05/16 4:22:10 28.9270 -100.0383 2003/05/16 4:22:20 29.4599 -99.5674 2003/05/16 4:22:30 29.9922 -99.0923 (pretty far W of Austin) 2003/05/16 4:22:40 30.5239 -98.6129 2003/05/16 4:22:50 31.0548 -98.1291 2003/05/16 4:23:00 31.5851 -97.6407 2003/05/16 4:23:10 32.1146 -97.1474 2003/05/16 4:23:20 32.6433 -96.6493 2003/05/16 4:23:30 33.1713 -96.1460 2003/05/16 4:23:40 33.6985 -95.6374 (Texas/Oklahoma border) Superbird tonight. Might someone with the right wide-angle set-up get photography of Superbird A flashes during the first penumbral portion of the lunar eclipse? Here's what Björn wrote a couple of days ago: > I get flashes (for 05-16) near RA 16:04 > For Ed in Texas (Lat= 30.31 Long= -97.86 )that is 03:06 at decl. -5.9 > For Don (39.18 Long= -76.84) 03:15 -7.6 > > -0:03 +0.1 deg in pos/day > +0:01 in time That position is roughly in the general vicinity of delta and epsilon OPH (Yed Prior and Yed Posterior). But maybe that's too far from the Moon. Now, hoping for a clear night for everyone.
