Description:
On January 15th, 2022, I was talking to a friend in Cozumel who works at the Planetarium. She mentioned that the ISS was going to be near Jupiter that night, and I quickly grabbed my phone and used Ed Morana's ISS Transit Prediction app (You can find it here:

And noticed that I was so lucky!! Soooo lucky that the transit was happening in 4 hours, just 10 minutes from my home driving, in a very accessible road!! The weather was not too promising, however. One of the weather apps said 40% cloudy at the time of the transit, others said less than 10%. But I got everything ready: laptop, ZWO camera, telescope, mount, etc and drove there, arriving at around 6:30PM. The transit would happen at exactly 7:08:15 PM (GMT-5), and would last only a fraction of a second! But I was ready! I had read a previous APOD (https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap200923.html) had used 0.35ms timing for every frame, and so I used those same settings!!
Here was the location of the transit:

This image is the raw, unedited frame from which I placed the ISS back in its position on Jupiter:

And this image is the stacked frames of Jupiter (in which we get to see Io) and the ISS, combined:

The really neat thing is that the stacked frames show the Great Red Spot!! I was also lucky that the ISS transit happened at a time when the Great Red Spot was visible to us on Earth!
The raw frames are 0.35ms, gain 350, ZWO ASI290MM, no filters, on a CEM25P mount. 7:08:15PM (GMT-5), Cozumel, Quintana Roo, Mexico.
And finally: here is the video of all of the frames!
