The ISS Crossing the Surface of the Sun – My clearest one yet! Bonus video of the transit in the comments

This allowed for a low shutter speed at approximately 1/14000th of a second 2) A double stack hydrogen alpha set up that allowed me to capture the chromosphere of the solar surface Any questions please feel free to ask, and thanks for looking.

Dunno why but that picture makes me feel really small….
