I loved this photo so much I used the uncropped photo as the cover to my 2024 calendar

This was captured using a 14" telescope from the sidewalk in a neighborhood in Chandler, Arizona. My position on Earth had to be precisely planned based on the projected path of the ISS. I determined where I needed to be using two programs: the app sky safari and the transit-finder website.
