The International Space Station transits the Sun

A convenient ISS transit across the sun as this capture was taken
from my backyard.

And in real time video:

As predicted by http://transit-finder.com/

I occasionally monitor this website for any ISS passes across the Sun or Moon.
Normally, I would have to travel some distance to find a good spot to photograph this event.

But for this pass, my backyard was just a couple blocks from
the center line of the pass.

First Video at high frame rate, 120 fps, then extracted the frames for stacking
A stack of 17 frames.

Sony Alpha α6500 ,Nikkor 500mm f/8 Reflex Ai-S
Tripod, iOptron Startracker, Orion Silver Solar Filterg
120 frms/sec, f/8.0 at 500mm (x1.5),
17 Frames stacked
Sony XAVC S HD, 120p/100p full exif
