ISS Transit Finder
Just learned of this site - www.transit-finder.com - which provides you times and locations of ISS solar and lunar transits. What a surprise to see when I first tried it out that there was a lunar transit directly over my house just an hour before I looked at the site! Too bad it's completely overcast (and I saw the info after the fact). But there are a lot of transits coming up in the area.

Re: ISS Transit Finder
Yes. I have been keeping an eye on that also. I was all set to go try to get pictures this morning, but was bummed by the cloud layer.
My next change is 5/4 at 12:45 in Forest Lake. Crossing my fingers for clear sky's this early will probably cause cramps.

Re: ISS Transit Finder
Yes, it's a cool site. I've used it in the past - easy to use. I like how it gives data on angular size/distance to the ISS so you can pick out when the best transits are. The exact path bounces around over time, so it's a good idea to verify it as the time gets close.

Re: ISS Transit Finder
I have used this site for years. I can attest the accuracy in location and timing is very good. I have obtained numerous solar transits and at least one lunar transit. One day last year I captured two solar transits in one day within 20 minutes of my house. Let me know if you have any questions. I can help.
