Bugger, bugger, bugger - check, check, check.
How long, I wonder, before I get another opportunity?

at the last few items on your list!
I don't know how often these things happen but, I suspect they aren't very common. I subscribe to the Calsky email notification service (
www.calsky.com) to let me know whenever the ISS will pass in front of either the moon or the sun. I've been waiting a few months now and haven't had a notification... I have received notification of other events (like satellites decaying near my location etc) but not a lunar or solar transit.
