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

    Questions about transits in Warsaw

    When is the next ISS transit in Warsaw?

    The next good transit near Warsaw is the ISS crossing the Sun on Sat 10 Oct at 13:40:47.7 CEST (11:40:47.7 UTC). Its centreline passes 46 km NE of central Warsaw, and the strip is 16 km wide. It is 28° up in the SSW and the crossing lasts 1.05 s.

    Do I need to travel to see one from Warsaw?

    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 46 km from central Warsaw, so the strip's edge is 38 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.
