NOAO - Photographing ISS Transits


Listen Later

Description: The International Space Station can easily be seen with the naked eye when it passes overhead. Occasionally the ISS will pass directly in front of the Moon or Sun presenting an interesting photographic opportunity. In this podcast, Rob Sparks describes how he has successfully photographed the ISS transiting the Sun and Moon with a DSLR and a zoom lens and describes techniques you can use to capture this distinctive image.
