I was setting up for the transit using my Pronto in white light. I had just pulled focus and what looked like the ISS passed almost equatorially across the sun. It was a large paneled satellite. The time was 15:58/59:?? CDT or 20:58 UTC. I checked Heavens Above and it didn't list any passes for my site for either the ISS/HST/Tiagong or other large paneled satellites I'm aware of. I'm in Louisiana at roughly 31.1N, -91.4W. This was a little over an hour before the transit began at my location.
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to what it might have been or a link to another tracker where I can find out.
Of course it started raining at the start of the transit but cleared enough for about 20 minutes viewing before sunset. That's two Venus transits for me plus an unknown satellite transit. I feel lucky.
Thanks for any help?
