Are these sequential frames from your video? Fourteen minutes seems a long time in advance to start recording. How precise was your expectation of the timing? Were you just being extra cautious? Do you think there would be any chance of observing a transit like this with the naked eye? Given the speed and size of the IIS, I suppose it would be tough. Do you remember the Light Ring project? Astronomers cried foul, but I think it would have been kind of cool. Your images, showing texture along the terminator, in my opinion rival the recent supermoon APoD.
