    Darin Koch, a member of the Austin Astronomical Society (a
local amateur astronomy club), got a neat video of the 
Hubble Space Telescope transiting Orion's belt -- followed 
later by a "Hubble flare", when it briefly brightened a few 
magnitudes.  This was on April 2, 2005 (local time; April 3 
UTC), from Canyon of the Eagles park, Texas.  It's a 
Quicktime movie about 1.3 Mb:

This was at an informal star party at the society's dark-sky
site.
