Funny, I saw something very similar on FB the other day.

Yes!!!!!! 🎉

FINALLY after 7 attempts I got a sharp image of the international Space Station flying in front of the Sun!

At exactly 12:36pm and 30 seconds - line of sight meant from a location 20 miles south of me the ISS would Transit in front of the Sun this would only last 0.67 seconds.

This imaged was achieved by using my camera and a 100-400mm lens with a 1.4 extender AND a solar filter

I’m so happy!! I’ve tried over a year for this!
