Details:
On April 13, after a long solar imaging session (see the previous post here with AR2529) I had to drive fast to a location 40 miles away from my usual observing place. The reason for this re-location was a transit of the ISS over the Moon, during daytime. Despite the bad seeing conditions and the cirrus clouds rolling in, I still got a series of frames showing the ISS passing close to the trio of crater Theophilus, Cyrillus and Catharina (lower right corner in the images).
The setup for this transit: 115mm F/5 TS APO Refractor, 3x Barlow lens, ASI 174MM camera with no filters. The transit prediction was made by CalSky.
First shot is a composed image made from overlaying eleven shots in PS, and also a bit more contrast applied. The second is one frame with little noise removal. Also an animation can be seen here:
