I am still waiting to catch a transit across the moon, one of this days I catch one. I also plan to try and watch a lit geo sat cross the moon, as the event will take longer to occur compared to a low earth sat transit. Thats after I get a telescope. And once rob has the time to add the option I wanted to skymap - finding sunlit satellite transits across the moon, in a dark sky, it will be even easier to find transits. While skymap can predict sunlit sat transits, it doesn't right now take in account the effect of the sun being above or below the horizon, when doing a search for days in advanced using the All satellite search menu. I can't see a sat transit across the moon, when the sun above the horizon. So It will be great when skymap takes in account the sun being above or below the horizon, as seen from my location - then it will only produce a list of sunlit sat transits across the moon when the sky is dark, based on the elevation of the sun using the info found in the lighting constraints menu. Keep up the good work rob.
