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

Questions about transits in Mumbai

When is the next ISS transit in Mumbai?

Do I need to travel to see one from Mumbai?

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 147 km from central Mumbai, so the strip's edge is 138 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.
