ISS and Dragon last night
I caught the ISS with a docked SpaceX Dragon last night at 84° with my C8 and Canon T3i shooting 3x zoom video at 30fps. Scope wasn’t cooled and I only had 13 minutes to setup but it’s still a reasonable image. Not as sharp as I would have liked but the dragon is easily visible. Thanks for looking.

Hi Dana. You grabbed a fantastic image of the ISS and the SpaceX Dragon docking last night with the C8 scope and Canon T3i camera, especially having to work everything so quickly. Thanks for sharing this great work with us Dana, and keep looking up.
