Dear group,

A few days ago I captured the ISS transiting the sun (as per 
http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-Sat-Trans-2010-05-25.htm ) and less than a 
couple of hours ago I caught the ISS again in broad daylight but this 
time on a flyby of Jupiter.

Enjoy: http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-Sat-ISS-2010-05-29.htm .... focusing 
was VERY difficult against a low contrast brightly-lit sky. Sol did help 
but there were no sunspots to finetune focusing and I got very lucky in 
getting as close to perfect focus as possible.

Anthony.
