Details:
Yesterday morning at 9:28UTC, the resupply cargo Cygnus NG-11 (Northrop-Grumman) docked to the Canadarm2 articulated arm, while the ISS was flying over northern France at 28000 km/h. It is at this precise moment that I took a photo of their transit in front of the Sun: the small cargo is visible just near the ISS.
I used a 150 mm refractor and a DSLR working at 1/32000 s. The transit lasted 0,8 s and the ISS was 600 km away.
