    Questions about transits in Vienna

    When is the next ISS transit in Vienna?

    The next good transit near Vienna is the ISS crossing the Sun on Mon 12 Oct at 13:42:45.7 CEST (11:42:45.7 UTC). Its centreline passes 54 km NE of central Vienna, and the strip is 13 km wide. It is 32° up in the SSW and the crossing lasts 0.98 s.

    Do I need to travel to see one from Vienna?

    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 54 km from central Vienna, so the strip's edge is 47 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.
