Details:
On the night of April 8 the International Space Station (ISS) passed over the Moon not to far away from my home, at a distance of about 40 kilometers.Together with my wife I drove towards the small town of Daia in the Giurgiu county, Romania. We had the precise time of the passing from the Calsky website.
My frames were acquired with the TS APO 115mm F/7 Refractor working at F/14 with the aid of a 2x TeleVue Powermate. The camera was my trusty Canon 550D working at ISO400 and 1/800s.
My wife's frames were acquired with another Canon 550D mounted on a SW 90mm Maksutov telescope.
Despite the smaller aperture of her scope, the first frame capturing the ISS (lower right ISS position) shows some better structural details compared to my images.
After a few more minutes I’ve decided to shoot again the Moon, this time to acquire frames for a stack in order to present the phase of the Moon and it’s colors.
