This image shows the transit of ISS over the Sun captured from Bengaluru, India on 29-Jan-2021. The transit was captured at 60fps - so you can actually estimate the transit time by counting the number of stations you see - roughly 39/60 of a second. All frames of the station have been merged with a stacked image of the sun from the same video as the station capture (50% of ~9000 frames).Equipment: iOptron CEM25P, GSO 6 Inch F5 Newt, Baader Solar Filter, Nikon 1 J5Software: PIPP, Autostakkert, Registax, Gimp
