Details:
This two images were captured during a very short 0.6s transit for which my wife and I traveled about 30 miles from our home. It was our first successful ISS transit over the Moon. Before this shots were taken, just with a few seconds in advance, some distant birds passed over the Moon making us think the ISS had already transited...luckily for us we pushed the shutter button a few more times and the space bird was captured. The H from the ISS shape stand for the Harvest Moon.

Equipment:
For my shot:
SW ED80mm Refractor, @ F/19, TV Powermate 2.5x, Canon 550D, ISO 800, 1/1000s.

Great shots, even better detail than the one I had on the site last week.
If you set up the camera in HD video mode you should be able to capture about 15 images of the ISS as it transits the moon.
