West Seattle photographer shows you how to safely capture the International Space Station as it crosses the sun
The image was sent by Kevin Freitas, who’s offering you the chance to capture something similar, safely. Here’s his announcement:
Join local amateur photographer, sky watcher, and meteor hunter Kevin Freitas to learn how to capture a solar transit of the International Space Station. We’ll talk through how to set up your photo or video gear and apps to use to find transits and measure precise time. Then, just before 3:30, we’ll try to capture a transit!
The most important item you need is a solar filter to put atop your camera lens to filter out most of the Sun’s burning light. Don’t have a filter? Make your own with these filter sheets and some black tape. CAUTION: Never stare at or photograph the Sun without a proper solar filter!
When: Monday, July 31, 2:30-3:30 pm
Where: Jack Block Park beach picnic area (map)
