I've been attempting transits for about five years now. For one thing,
I don't have a telescope, so the space station is nothing more than a
speck. But another issue is the critical timing. Depending on how high
the moon or sun is in the sky, the space station is a bit bigger or
smaller. And it can also alter the time across disk quite a bit too.
Not easy, and your position has to be quite exacting. I've gotten just
one moon transit, but the picture wasn't good enough to show anyone.
