Who knows, if the cloud ever disappears locally I may attempt an ISS transit one night. Much of my photography has been based around taking multiple shots and hoping for the best (I have a thing with chemical fires in a coffee tin in total darkness. I call them fire spirits).
I was near tempted to take a scope and camera out last night, just for the moon, clearest I've seen it in 3 weeks. I didn't though thinking maybe today but not with the weather again.

The camera can deliver 23 FPS @ 16 MP X 10 bits = 3,680 Mb/s, less than the new USB 3.0 cable's 5,000 Mb/s rating.
The documentation for the Kingston SSD claims write speeds of "up to" 2,800 Mb/s which will drop that frame rate to 17 or 18 FPS. This represents the best that I can hope for.
When the USB cable arrives, in the next few days, I will be able to see what real world frame rate is. Factors such as CPU capacity and USB infrastructure capacity could further reduce the frame rate. Hopefully it will be significantly higher that the 3 FPS that I saw the other night.
EDIT: Looking more closely at the SSD specs, my 1 TB SSD has a write speed of 2,100 Mb/s which reduces the maximum theoretical frame rate down to 13 FPS.
