Initially I had thought that the second solar transit by ISS observed on Wednesday was about five seconds late. This despite checking my watch and running the prediction in Skymap with fresher elsets. Yesterday my alarm went off at the same time and instead of beeping for 30 seconds (my initial assumption) it only beeped for 20 seconds. Thus ISS did in fact transit at the Skymap predicted time and I obviously paused a few seconds before checking my watch. This most likely was because the transit was so clear and the panels canted that I had to process the image a bit before resorting to visually checking my watch. As I suspected, it was an observational error due to not using a stopwatch. No problem with elsets or Skymap.
