If you’re at the right place at the right time, with the right equipment, this is possible.

Last night, with guidance from https://transit-finder.com/, I positioned myself along the narrow line where the International #SpaceStation would pass between me and the nearly full moon.

I used a Fujifilm X-T4 shooting 4K video through a Celestron 8” SCT to capture the pass. Then, back at the computer this morning, put together these views with PIPP, Registax, and GIMP.

Quite pleased. My best yet.

Studded snowchains on for the wet and icy road conditions...
Mastodon still allows posting links to and about other social media platforms, right?

A couple of #NeRF render videos of the aftermath of this week's snow storm. Some of these cars might not move anymore until Spring...? 😁 made with #nerfstudio
There it is, the snow covered dog fence with led lights... πŸ˜„ Helsinki has the most snow in the country right now, enough to bury that 60cm/24in high fence... This should be enough snow for this winter. (But probably won't be)
And two hours later the fence is gone for most of the perimeter, only visible under the cover of that tree. It's going to look interesting in the evening when the led lights (on top of the fence) turn on under the snow... πŸ˜…
Snow cover comparison between last Friday and today (Tuesday), notice especially how much of the dog fence was and is visible. That's a 60cm (~24in) high fence, each row being 10cm (~4in). One day of snowfall now, more still coming
Snowin' snowin' snowin', rawhide... 🎢🎡
