Details:
I took this double transit from the area of Philadelphia. The sky was clear all night and clouds began to come two hours before the transit of the ISS. 10 minutes later, it was completely cloudy! The video with an unexpected guest: http://youtu.be/Le-B2AnFiWw

Beautiful image, the resolution of the space station is amazing. A few hundred meters away(N/NW I assume)and this could have been an occultation of Mercury by the ISS while transiting the sun. Maybe next time...
