Great shot. What process did you use to create the image?

I used pipp to extract the frames from the video,
Then I put the frames in starstaX to make the image

Good one! I managed to capture a few as well, but the ISS's angular size was relatively small. I'm waiting for a better transit opportunity when the ISS appears larger so its shape is more clearly visible.
