Yesterday I took a massive 140 megapixel image of the sun. But there is something uniquely special about this image, that made it one of my most difficult shots ever. So, what is it? #astrophotography #space #opteam
A closer look to the active region/sunspost here reveals something unnatural, what is that ||+|| shape doing in my sun photo?
That's right! The ISS was transiting the sun yesterday from my vantage near the budweiser factory in Farifield. These shots require a lot of planning to pull off. For more details check my post on the behind the scenes of this image here on my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/50407977 
Patrons also can download and view the whole high quality 140 megapixel image. Lots of cools activity on the sun right now.
The full image is also available as a signed & numbered print for 24 hours here: http://8x10.co/cosmic_background
