ISS a challenge?

Recently I was lucky enough to have my scope out just as the ISS passed overhad at mag -1. I managed to track it for about 2 seconds with a 20mm on my F8 refractor.

Has anybody managed to image this? What sort of magnification woukd be required to pick uo any form or shape? How could you track this beastie - it moves out!?

Anybody had any interesting times with artificial satelites?
