Thank you Cai-Uso, Walter, Stephen, Brian, and Emiel. It is a thrill to see a transit even when the ISS appears no larger than a mosquito; have you seen Ralf Vandebergh's image of the ISS and an astronaut during a spacewalk? Amazing. Here is a link: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap090410.html

That is so cool! It gives a bit more perspective on how small our little station really is...
I'd imagine it is very difficult to plan for an ISS transit?
