There are quite a few calculators that give you exact transit times for a location. You need a precise clock on your phone and then you can start shooting bursts half a second before transit until your buffer is full. It’s very anxiety inducing because you can’t see anything but so far it has worked out every time. I only have a 400mm lens so the quality is not that great but you can see the solar panels and the outline of the station. I have also done it in front of the moon but that’s way harder because you have less light and get slower shutter speeds resulting in motion blur.
