Details:
On Sept 29th, there was a predicted transit of the Moon by the ISS. The location was approximately 100km due north of my home. I drove to near Coe Hill Ontario, and set up my TEC140 refractor telescope on the side of the highway. The sky was clear and crisp as the temperature had fallen to near -5c. I was ready to take my shot at 5:37pm and the ISS was right on time, and right through the centre of the Moon! It was such a sight to see. By the time I had packed up it took me about 90 minutes to get home. And just as I got home, I got a notice from my iphone app that the ISS was rising again after completing another orbit. All in the time it took me to drive 100km!
