ISS transit of Mars 4:45am 13th Nov near Orange, NSW

Hello People,

According to CalSky, the ISS may transit the face of Mars at about 4:45am 13th November. Visible in a line between Manildra and Carcoar (SW of Orange, NSW).

The ISS subtends an apparent angle of 29" and Mars is about 8" if I read things correctly. Could be interesting.
