Details:
After a completely cloudy night before dawn the clouds began to thin. SpaceX Dragon was to cross my northern sky at 03:03 UT leaving Earth's shadow right by the head of the constellation Draco. The small supply spaceship was prediceted to have a brightness only +3 magnitudes after leaving the shadow and quickly fading back to +5 and then +7 magnitudes. I could see it only for some moments as the brightest of its path was through thin clouds but it was epic to have the Dragon right at Draco, its namesake! In some hours the Dragon would be captured by Alexander Gerst on ISS, and with my pic of Dragon I wish to thank him the huge amounts of awsome photoes he takes from space.
