Quoting: Earthxit 76865279 A video snapped by London-based supposed amateur astronomer caught the ISS flyby in front of the Moon, with both objects IN FOCUS. Whilst most amateur astronomers struggle to get perfect focused shots of the Moon alone, our friend took a sequence of images that strongly suggest the Moon is WAAAAY CLOSER to Earth. The stars aligned for a London based amateur astronomer, who managed to catch a shot of the International Space Station passing in front of the moon under the perfect conditions, with epic results.

You can't determine the distance of the moon simply because it's sharp at the same time the ISS is sharp. [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] Let's do some very simple math here. Let's take my telescope for instance, which has a very long focal length (and yet also shows ISS being in focus with the moon: [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] ). 2 meters of focal length, to be exact. The default f number of my telescope is f/10. H = f^2/(N*c) + f where f = focal length, N = f number, c = circle of confusion limit. The circle of confusion is the spot size that light is allowed to diffuse to on the imaging medium. Let's set that to 18 microns square, equal to the pixel well size of my Canon T5i camera which I use to take images of the moon and ISS. Therefore: H = 200/(10*0.0018)+2000 = 2222422 cm = 22.2 km. Anything greater than 22 kilometers from my telescope will automatically be in focus at infinity focus. So yes, ISS and the moon should be in focus at the same time since the closest object is still 400 km away at least.  |

If I were to stand in France and take a photo with an unobstructed view of a mountain 1,000 miles away, shouldn't I be able to easily snap a picture of a person's facial features standing on that mountain?
