#Repost ・・・ ISS Solar Transit: April 17, 2017 Unfortunately, I'm not able to attend the launch by United Launch Alliance (for Orbital ATK) of the CRS-7 Cygnus capsule (named after the great John Glenn) tomorrow, but at just under 24 hours before the launch, I was able to see where the capsule is headed, from a distance of 452 km. May I present the International Space Station, transiting the face of the Sun, seen from downtown Melbourne (just 5 minutes from my office!) and the Space Coast of Florida at 11:46 am (ET). Thanks again to transit-finder.com for another accurate prediction. The transit began at 11:46:40 and lasted a mere .57 seconds. At the time of transit, the ISS was 452 km away from my viewing location. With another nod to Elliot Severn, this image was created by extracting 17 frames from a 4K video (I may post it later), shot at 29 frames per second with an EF100-400mm lens and a 2x converter. Shooting directly into the sun is serious business, so I was using two ND filters (a 10-stop and a 3-stop), and the camera was set at ISO100, 1/3200 and f16. The images were processed in Lightroom, combined in Photoshop using the "darken" mode and then finished (again) in Lightroom with a modest amount of "detail extraction" applied in Color Efex4 as a final touch. #SpotTheStation #iss #transit #isswave #instagram #instahub #instahot #pictureoftheday #photography #photographer #photooftoday #photooftheday #florida #crs7 #cygnus #webstagram #latergram #love #beautiful #nasa #astronauts #internationalspacestation
