Details:
After an allert on CalSky that ISS might occult Spica this morning, I put on my alarmclock at 04 o'clock but the sky was completely overcast.
A little after 05 the clouds started to dissipate at the same time as the eastern sky started brightening.
I took some testshots of Spica and exactly on time, at 06h40'56", ISS passed in front of Spica, visible as short trails of light.
Spica is to the right and Mercury is also visible to the left.
In the second picture, I have added 12 exposures of 1 second each.
