When ISS transit BEFORE the sun, the side of ISS we are viewing is in shadow !! So it is impossible to see a sunlit ISS BEFORE the sun.

Hi list, > Oh by the way, the sun will be close to the horizon, and the > iss will be lit > by the sun. So you can forget about watching it. Hard to see > a sunlit iss on > a sunlit moon, even with the sky being dark, which it won't be. Don't know if it is possible to see ISS transiting the sun, but I think the chances are far better than for a sunlit ISS transiting a sunlit moon because ISS should be a dark object in front of the sun.
