Details:
Beautiful activity of the Sun these days, and for a very brief moment another strangely-shaped sunspot was visible: the International Space Station, rather close to the behemoth sunspot group AR2158. Even if the two "spots" seem to have more or less the same size, AR2158 is actually many times larger compared to our planet, while the ISS is so much smaller.
Equipment: TS APO 115mm F/8 with TeleVue 2x Powermate, Baader Astrosolar filter, Canon 550D at ISO100 and 1/3200s. Two shots were possible due to the (as always) perfect prediction via CalSky.
