Image Details:

I have some ISS lunar transits at night, and some ISS solar transits. I had the opportunity to try a daytime lunar transit. I was somewhat successful, but the solar panels being angled toward the sun does not give the iconic shape of the ISS. The brightness of the day and reflection off the ISS didn't reveal as much detail as I would have liked. Additionally, the angular size of the ISS at this time was not the best. Still, I am happy that my planning for location and time was correct and I got the capture.
