According to Calsky this is the center point line where it will cross the exact center of the moon: www.calsky.com/?Transitline=&showhome=&o...00000231&mainbody=10

As seen from Limerick, the ISS missed the Moon by a half degree to the SE at its closest, still nice to see...

Just saw the transit. The ISS just clipped the South Pole of the Moon. Interesting that Calsky.com didn't pick this up - I usually get daily email alerts of transits.
I observed it with my 15 x 50s and noticed how it changed to a deep colour red when it entered earths shadow. I could track it for about another 30 degrees across the sky. It could only be seen in adverted vision in the binos.
