Awesome. Just out of interest, why do the ISS and STS appear to be moving
in the wrong direction?

Some nice recent pics here too, from Cassini:

It is a great shot, but not quite as difficult as it appears.

There are databases that will tell you exactly when the satellites will
pass in front of the sun or moon from your latitude and longitude.

I forget where they are but the information is readily accessible online.
