23 of these are hidden on the main finder by its quality filter (too low, a barely lit Moon, or a weak crossing). Times are Brisbane time to a tenth of a second; distances are to the centreline of the strip from central Brisbane.

    Questions about transits in Brisbane

    When is the next ISS transit in Brisbane?

    The next good transit near Brisbane is the Hubble crossing the Sun on Mon 12 Oct at 15:38:31.0 GMT+10 (05:38:31.0 UTC). Its centreline passes 100 km S of central Brisbane, and the strip is 8.3 km wide. It is 29° up in the W and the crossing lasts 1.96 s.

    Do I need to travel to see one from Brisbane?

    Usually a short way. The strip where a transit is visible is only a few to around 20 km wide, so it rarely crosses your own street. The next good one passes 100 km from central Brisbane, so the strip's edge is 96 km away.

    Can I see a transit without a telescope?

    The crossing lasts about a second and the station appears tiny, so a telescope or a long lens on a camera is needed to see its shape. Never look at the Sun without a certified ISO 12312-2 solar filter.
