I'm not going to be able to make it tonight, after all. If anyone gets a nice view of the ISS aganst the moon, could you pls send me a copy? Contact me at my office email, bau@desnews.com, as I check it more frequently than this address. I would like to see if the resolution is high enough to print in the paper, if it's OK with the photographer. If so I probably could sell the editors on a story.

The actual transit of the Moon may not be acquirable visually. The duration of the event is 0.6 seconds.
Run a webcam at the appointed time and then see if you pick up any images with the ISS in it.
FWIW, during my most recent ISS transit experience Bruce Grim successfully spotted ISS visually with an 80 mm refractor. patrick _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://gallery.utahastronomy.com Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com --------------------------------- Boardwalk for $500?
