there was a predicted transit of the moon by the ISS for the 27 September 2014 at exactly 19h00m39.26s by CalSky.
I haven't done anything since pulling down the dome back in July. so after realising that the centre line of the event was not far from me (within 9km). so i set off quickly with the canon60D, the polarie head and my slik tripod to a remote section of road at Black Hill. i only had my 200mm lens - the rest of the astro gear is packed up and stored. anyway its nothing special
