Amazing!! Whats the dot between 5 and 6 o'clock?

I love this pic of the ISS and Solar Eclipse all at once:

Are you sure that's the ISS? I reckon it could be a tie-fighter!

Cloudy up north tonight so we missed it. Caught a glimpse of them (docked) yesterday, but only briefly as they were low in the sky.

Its been cloudy most of the day here but cleared a while ago to give us one of the best views of it I've ever seen, clear enough for our 5 year old to recognize it was something more than a fast star. He's gone to bed with his space shuttle and a dinasour
