Still from video, adding to my collection of this particular subject.

Still from 4K video, G7 and 100-400. This combination gets results every time, very dependable.

At the time (as usual) I didn't see it at all. Shooting the ISS when in shadow, you are essentially totally reliant on timing and the software tools available.

For this shot, the ISS was 493.93km away, it doesn't get much closer than that.

Nice, and thanks for the reminder.  My son and I have been wanting to photograph it against the moon.  Will have to check the ISS finder webpage to see if there are any opportunities coming up soon.

I use 3 main resources for this - the ISS Transit Finder page, Calsky (which will email alerts) and ISS Detector on Android.

ISS Detector is invaluable for times when you can't see the station approaching, it is remarkably accurate on some of my devices.

ISS Transit Finder is also good, you can look a month ahead (I think Calsky is 2 months) and you become very aware of how much the ISS orbit changes, you really need to check hours before planning an actual shoot. In this case, the original orbit would have meant this was not visible from my place, this later changed and this shot was from my front yard.

Then of course there is the weather. I have missed many sightings because we have such cloudy weather here.

These events are not rare, my last post of another shoot from my yard was less than a year ago, and I've got other shots since:
