A beautiful evening in between summer thunderstorms- Here are two views of a July 18th ISS pass by Jupiter, from near Sonoita, Arizona. On the left is the naked eye view, a 25-second exposure at ISO 1600 using a Canon Rebel on a tripod as the ISS came up from the south and skimmed past Jupiter. Scorpius is on the left part of the image, and the moon was out of the frame on the right, illuminating the clouds. On the right is the view through a 6-inch Dobsonian reflector, 13mm Plossl eyepiece, with a Samsung Galaxy S6 cell phone camera. The video was at 60 frames per second; this image stacks every other frame as the ISS skimmed past Jupiter. Three of the four Galilean moons are visible; the fourth is barely evident with extra processing. The bands and the Great Red Spot were visible, but Jupiter is overexposed a little here in order to see the moons. This was almost in the right spot for an exact transit; I had checked the transit path on CalSky.com just 5 hours before the transit, but the orbit must have been shifting very slightly- I’ll keep trying.
