First time I have tried this...It was about 45 minutes after sunset so the ISS was quite bright.  I shot video with my Sony A7iii through my TEC 140, then used the frames to make this composite.  Seeing was below average as the leading edge of a large front was moving in...yet, I’m happy with this first composite!  Uploading from my iPad, so hoping the resolution isn’t terrible...if it is, I can upload a better image tomorrow....

Awesome! Well done.

Nice image!  I'm curious if the composite we are seeing here is representative of the original exposure, or if it was brightened in processing.  Both the Moon and the ISS have saturated pixels, and so if this is the original exposure then you could go with a slightly faster exposure next time (adjusting so the Moon isn't clipped....to be tested before the pass), although there is certainly nothing wrong with this result!

Yes, I could go with a shorter exposure next time-

Bagged my first lunar transit, today. I’m quite happy with the results... except for the orientation of the ISS.
