moon transit fever

I have moon transit fever.... but I haven't had any luck yet.
I learned from Rob Matson that sunlit sats don't have enough contrast with
the illuminated moon to be seen.
Now I have lots of questions:
1. Can a sat that isn't sunlit be seen against an illuminated moon?
2. Is there any time of the night or lunar month that is better to observe
transits?
3. How does one find out when a non-sunlit sat will transit? I've played
with the lighting restraints in Skymap, but they don't seem to do the trick...
4. Any tips I haven't thought to ask about?
Thanks for any comments you can give!!
