Originally I planned to shot this occultation from the Canary Islands but having already taken images of the May 31 occultation from Argentina, I wanted something more challenging! 😉 Following transit-finder.com calculations and the weather forecast, I decided to install my telescope in Spain, in a precise place near the Almendra dam in Castilla&Leon. The stress was at maximum when I saw the ISS appearing at the horizon and passing in the frame of the camera exactly at the predicted time, just 30 minutes after the end of the occultation! 😛 The Moon and Saturn are a stack of a few hundred frames taken around the moment of the ISS transit.
