I spotted the ISS for the first time last night as well, at least with my telescope -- I just tracked it visually the last time it came across on a clear night, but that was nearly a month ago, and I've been kicking myself every since for not taking the telescope out that night! This time I had the 'scope out, even though there was a lot of cloud cover. I could still see the moon through the clouds, so I figured I might get lucky and spot the ISS through it as well.
Sure enough, after a few minutes of looking up in to the clouds, I saw a faint but clearly visible white dot drifting quickly through the clouds. I swung my dob around and tracked it manually for about 30 seconds before it faded in to thick cloud.
It's a beautiful day here today, and if it holds, I might just try imaging the ISS on its pass tonight, now that I have my webcam.
