Taingong solar transit @AZASTROGUY

Uploaded June 2024 | Updated September 2026, 1 hour ago

Capturing a transit across the Sun of the Tiangong space station is a challenge. It's much smaller than the ISS and can be in a higher orbit (apparent size even smaller). I tried for the first time yesterday and was successful! Wave to the nice Taikonauts!
I used my TEC160FL with a Lunt 2" herschel wedge and a Player one Saturn SQR-M camera.
