Details:
High resolution images of one of the tumbling solar panel covers ejected after the Dragon-CRS-8 launch. This is my first successful high resolution registration of launch debris in orbit other then the actual rocket stages and the spacecraft itself. Due to the tumbling, causing the object to brighten and dim (maximum/minimum) it is very hard to track. Tracking is realized fully manually by using the on-crosshairs method, tracking magnification was 6x. Telescope 10 in Newtonian in secondary focus.
