    One of my favorite photos I’ve ever captured, this is the ISS transiting Tycho crater on the moon. I formatted this as a mobile wallpaper you can use if you like. This photo also made it into space, more details in the comments.

      This photo required setting up two telescopes in a remote part of the Sonoran desert, where I waited for a precise moment where the ISS made an alignment with the crater. The moment lasted mere milliseconds due to the station moving 17.5k mph, but thanks to precise planning and my .2ms exposure time, I got the shot.

      This photo got the attention of a flight surgeon who used it for her thesis cover, and it was photographed by Andreas Mogensen floating in the ISS cupola. [you can see that photo here](https://www.instagram.com/cosmic_background/p/CxTK-Ipx58H/?igsh=bTk3dWIwdTd3d2t1)

      Phenomenal shot! Really puts the size of both things into perspective even knowing the moon is far larger than even this makes it look.
