I've been wanting to capture this for a while and today was my first successful attempt.
This morning (06-29-16) at 7:52:02am PDT the International Space Station transited the Sun and I managed to capture it.
Technical details:
Lunt 80mm Ha Telescope
ZWO AIS1600MM cooled camera
Video captured @ 0.050ms per frame - 35fps
This is a composite of 1 frame for the surface detail, 1 frame for the prominence's along the edge.
And then the multiple frames extracted from the video for the ISS pass.

Re-processed the solar disc from this same morning to look a bit more natural. Natural as in how it appeared in the eyepiece before attaching the camera.

I am. Thanks!

Going to attempt a much better pass tomorrow. This image was captured at 7:52am when the sun was close to the horizon, making the image of the ISS very small as well because it was very far away from me rather than an overhead pass like tomorrow's. Tomorrow's pass will be at 2pm and the ISS will appear twice as large on the disc.
