I am sure it is a frame from a video but still, I agree to catch it screaming across the moon was most eventful. Makes you wonder if it is not some

He says he used burst mode of a 70D attached to the back of a Celestron 9.5 inch telescope.
O'Donnell received an alert for the precise to-the-second timing of the space station's flyover online. He'd been waiting for a year for such an opportunity, O'Donnell wrote on his website.
"If you think that it might be a case of sitting there with your camera and a clock, with one hand on the shutter release, youd be absolutely correct!" O'Donnell wrote. "The ISS only passed over the moon for 0.33 seconds as it shoots by quite quickly. Knowing the second it would pass, I fired a 'burst' mode of exposures, then crossed my fingers and hoped it would show up in review and it did!
O'Donnell was able to sharpen the image of the moon and enhance its colors to depict its complexity and texture by combining those images using astrophotography software with ones he took of the moon just before and after the transit.

Maybe some one in this group will attempt it.
Craig already has to a degree. I posted something that may have been the space station. It's quite possible.
