Details:
A lunar transit by the International Space Station (ISS) occurred not far from my home, in Magurele (Ilfov), Romania.
Together with my wife Eli, I drove for 5 minutes near a field where we’ve mounted our gear waiting almost an hour for the 0.65 second transit to occur. The equipment was the TS 115 mm F/7 APO with a TeleVue 2x Powermate and Canon 550D onto the EQ6 equatorial mount. Both exposures in which the ISS was captured were at ISO 800 and 1/1000 s.
The first shot is a composite image, of one of the two frames in which the ISS was captured, overimposed onto another image which was acquired immediately after the event. This second shot was a 72 frames stack, and was processed in order to reveal the colors of the lunar surface.
I have also uploaded the two individual shots, with a bit of saturation added.
