Way to go Jenn!
Excellent work.

I couldn't make it, so Jenn set up the Pronto and digital video camera in a 
parking lot on the corner of Hayden and McDowell.  The transit was nearly 
central.  It took 0.27 seconds, and 27 frames were recorded in that time.  The 
composite image is here.

The exposure is correct for the moon, and shows just how high the surface 
brightness of the Space Station is.  The solar panels are much fainter, and 
only recorded in some of the frames.  This detail was lost in the layer 
blending process.
