Details:
This is my first and last image of the Chinese Tiangong 1 Space Station. It is due to fall back on Earth in three days…
I had no clouds for this event, but the altitude of the Sun was rather low (28 degrees) and together with some poor seeing, the silhouette of Tiangong 1 is barely discernible.
Nevertheless, this is surely one of the last observation of the station before it enters the atmosphere…
Equipment: 150mm F/5 Refractor, Baader Herschel wedge, ASI 174MM, Red filter. Plus a stray dog 🙂
A small animation, showing the exit of the Station at 6fps, 20 times slower compared to the original recording, can be found here:
