Solar transit of the CSS-Tiangong
The Chinese Space Station passed in front of the Sun’s disk and, despite the less than ideal conditions (lots of wind and turbulence), the sky was clear, so there was no way I could miss an opportunity like this; one of those rare events you don’t get many chances to capture when you live on an island.
I usually prefer inverted solar images, but in this case I think Tiangong stands out much better in the non inverted version.
Which one do you prefer?
