ISS Lunar Transit
This is a daylight pass of the International Space Station passing in front of the Moon. Thanks to the ISS Transit Finder (transit-finder.com/), I learned about the location and timing of a pass visible from close to home. Fortunately the weather cooperated, though there were passing clouds right before the event that came awfully close to scuttling it.
This is a composite of ten frames shot in high speed continuous mode starting a second or so before the predicted pass: Nikon D850, 200-500mm f/5/6 lens, 500mm, 1/400 sec., f/14, ISO 250. Processed in Lightroom, composited in Photoshop with lighten layer blend mode.
