Details:
I imaged on 8-17-15 Tiangong 1 with the 2 solar panels in view at 78° from my backyard. I made this combo image to show you my image and a internet image of what Tiangong 1 looks like. I used my Edge HD 14" OTA with a SKYnyx 2.2 Mono CCD camera that has global shutter. The Barlow X 1.6 with an Astrodon orang filter. All on an custom modified EQ-G and ER tracking software made for me and my mount. Kind Regards Philip Smith

Tiangong-1 is Chinas First Space Lad. It is also known as the Chinese Space Station. This is a very hard object to image with its 2 solar panels in view. Tiangong-1 is over 250 miles high above Earth at 90° and traveling over 17,500 mph in space. So with that in mind you now know how hard and rear it is to get a recording or still images of this object and with 2 solar panels in view.
Kind Regards
Philip Smith
