As mentioned, any capture of the ISS crossing the moon is an amazing capture, not something I'd ever have the eyes or reflexes for now.

Thanks Leo. I didn't rely on my reflex's or eye sight. In fact, I saw nothing in real time, it was only by viewing the images later (in sequence) that I found the 5 out of 200 frames that showed the ISS.
The basic idea is to wait with the Moon in view, capture images 60 seconds either side of the nominated time and hope for the best. A Moon transit is a good way to image the ISS because you know where to point to scope.
I want to get the frame rate up purely to capture more images in the second or two that the ISS takes to pass through the FOV.
As for the SSD, I think that it is a good brand, may Kingston. When my USB 3.0 cable arrives thus week, I will do some structured testing to gauge hour all think links in the image capture chain are performing. Hopefully, I will be better prepared next time. This time around, I was happy just to see the ISS in five images.
