Particularity impressive when you realise the Sun appears as 31 arc minutes wide to someone on the Earth, the Earth is revolving at 15 arc seconds per second but if the station is travelling counter to this revolution you have only 1 second to set this shot up to catch the transit and fly-by.

So some great preparation to take this shot!
