After several (failed) tries over the last 5-ish years, I was finally able to capture an ISS solar transit! Took several hours of setup, as I had to move the rig out of my observatory to a suitable viewing location on the north side, due to the Sun's low altitude at transit time.

18°C is equivalent to 64°F, which is 291K. I'm a bot that converts temperature between two units humans can understand, then convert it to Kelvin for bots and physicists to understand
