It was 23 seconds later than advertised but I did manage capture it in 5 frames, one of which is attached. The ISS was sunlit during transit and was much brighter than the moon, over exposed in fact. At a focal length of 1,000 mm, the ISS is quite small. Against a black background, a hint of structure is discernible but not to the point of identifying solar panels.

The attached image has reduced resolution to keep the file size down. The ISS shows as a bright spot more or less in the middle of the moon, just above a prominent crater.

Edit: The second image shows detail (or lack thereof) when zoomed in on the ISS with a black background. There's no detail but I think at least a hint of some structure.
