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

    Questions about transits in Stockholm

    When is the next ISS transit in Stockholm?

    The next good transit near Stockholm is the ISS crossing the Sun on Sat 10 Oct at 10:28:03.0 CEST (08:28:03.0 UTC). Its centreline passes 72 km S of central Stockholm, and the strip is 26 km wide. It is 20° up in the SSE and the crossing lasts 1.40 s.

    Do I need to travel to see one from Stockholm?

    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 72 km from central Stockholm, so the strip's edge is 59 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.
