FrenchastrophotographerThierry Legaulthas been cultivating his skills for many years.
In the end, he drove six hours from his home so you can find the perfect position.
This place just happened to be at the edge of a field where his only companions were some cows.
Then, it was just a matter of timing.
Since the event occurs so fast, it’s impossible to manually trigger the camera at the correct moment.
Legault uses a programmable trigger box with a GPS antenna that allows him to start the sequence with precision.
Lucky for him (and us), all of his planning paid off.
And now, astronauts Steve Bowen and Woody Hoburg have a unique view of their spacewalk.
Astrophotographer Thierry Legault recently captured a spectacular view of a spacewalk during an ISS transit.
He traveled six hours to find the perfect place to set up his equipment.
Not only did he capture the spacewalk, but his images show the ISS passing by sunspots.
