Details:
Imaging the Chinese Space Lab Tiangong-2 at near 1st mag. was easy, the hard part was getting the nearby companion Banxing-2 Cube Sat at 7th-8th mag along with the also difficult Russian Cosmos 626 Reactor satellite making a close pass 16s earlier as seen in the second image. Canon T6s, 50mm f/2.8, iso 12800, 3s images. A wider field view of the northeast sky from UMa to Arcturus and Virgo with Jupiter was made with Sony a6300 and 3x8s stacked images of the Tiangong-2. The SkyXPro close up chart shows the cropped field of the satellites and nearby M101 spiral galaxy in UMa.
