Earlier this week, astrophotographer Bartosz Wojczyński (or Reddit user _bar) climbed to an observational spot near a busy airport in Pyrzowice, Poland. It wasn’t the darkest spot he could go to scan the night sky. In fact, he wasn’t even in a rural area. Still, he managed to capture amazing imagery of the ISS flying in front of the moon armed with just a camera and a telescope.

In a post in Reddit’s Gif community, Wojczyński wrote: “You don’t need dark skies in order to observe the Moon and/or the ISS. They are both among the brightest objects in the night sky, easily visible from urban areas.”

He knew the exact geographic coordinates to catch the ISS pass by the moon. In fact, NASA lists the information on their website.

The astrophotographer explains:

Of course, Redditors were impressed by his dedication.

Additionally, the user also shared a similar gif of the ISS flying in front of the sun.
