This is going to be my attempt Tuesday if the clouds hold out for me. This is a screencap from SkySafari showing the possible close pass of the ISS this evening around 7:52:50 local time. The blue box represents my frame with my Canon 5D and 200mm lens.

I hate to jinx myself 1 hr before the transit time but the sky is perfectly clear right now.
Trying to decide now if I want to let it streak through the entire frame or maybe try and get two 15 second exposures, one with it entering the frame and the second with it leaving.
Thoughts?

Success! Though I wish it had been a bit darker it was still very cool watching it pass. My app showed it a bit further north than it actually passed which is why the framing is a bit off. I expected it to be a good bit further to the right of the frame. Still a great event to pass these quarantine days...
