Jim, you'll see a tiny silhouette of the ISS against the solar disk. Use at least 50x. Patricks mileage may vary. I'd shoot a still myself, but with my hand still in a cast it will be impossible. I'll either watch Patricks monitor or just stay glued to my own eyepiece. Patrick, I have a 5" B&W monitor with RCA inputs that I can bring if needed. Let me know.

It appears this crossing will last less than a second. Will you have a real-time display for the video? How magnified are you planning to observe? What do you expect to be able to see?

Maybe I should address this to Chuck Hards since this is predicted to happen very near his work place.
Hey Chuck, do you think you'll be working the afternoon of Sunday the 21st?
On that afternoon at 14:53:46 ISS is predicted to pass directly in front of the Sun as seen from 40.8387 degrees north, 111.9342 degrees west.
Put another way, that works out to Redwood Road midway between I-215 and Center Street in North Salt Lake.
Weather permitting I plan on showing up with telescope, solar filter and video recorder. Anyone else wishing to show up is welcome.
Patrick
