ISS Crossing Moon Posted by: Stephen - 2009-02-05 21:07:35

According to CalSky.com I will have the opportunity to capture the ISS as it crosses in front of the moon tomorrow afternoon around 5:45 PM. The center line is within 10 miles from our cabin in the mountains of north Georgia, so I am planning for my first attempt at capturing the event live using my Celestron Omni XLT 150mm reflector with a Celestron Omni 2x barlow and Nikon D40 at prime focus.

Here's a screen shot (dual monitors) of the most excellent information on the CalSky.com site, including a Google Earth kmz file they provide for free.

I will post an update tomorow night if I actually capture the event. Weather man says clear skies, so keep your fingers crossed for me! ;-)
