This movie of an ISS transit beats anything I have seen before, by a margin: http://www.tracking-station.de/images/images.html

Taken with a 80cm RC, manufacturer modifed mount to slew at 4 deg/sec, they wrote their own tracking & autoguiding (on the moveing sattelite !) software. Stunning effort.

I was amazed by their earlier work with Sat Tracker and the LX200. The new hardware/software is indeed, producing stunning results! I anxiously await the next set of pictures and next shuttle flight.
