I thought that my recent unscheduled stay in hospital would mean missing this morning's ISS Solar Transit, but I was let out yesterday after only 10 days.
There were hardly any gaps in the cloud cover, but I got set up anyway. Luckily, a small gap appeared at just the right time and for just long enough to get the job done. The recently-acquired ZWO ASI174MC made light work of capturing full-frame (1936 x 1216 px) raw .avi data at 160 FPS.
Here's a clip, slowed to 4 FPS. It's best viewed in full-screen at 1080p.
And here's a cropped stack of the ISS. I think that it's a reasonable first effort:

Hell's Bells, it's Belly!!!
How goes it with you? Still plodding and paddling?
Still plodding sometimes; Even bought a new pair of Scarpas last week as I'm off to Eskdale soon, but doing a lot of e-bike trail riding now in Wales and Scotland...and I'm a partner in a microbrewery since last June!
Hope improvement in yer health continues..cheers M
Never figured you for a cyclist, Mike. The micro-brewery thing sounds right up your street though.
I've not been up a mountain since July 2017 but I'm hoping to be hill-fit next spring. If it happens, would you be up for a slow plod somewhere?
@BG! - yes , look forward to it. You should be a lot faster now you've stopped smoking! holler nearer the time!
