Details:
Predictions for HTV-7 today evening wrote a much higher path, so I set my camera prepared for that, but HTV-7 did not appear at the predicted time and location. I was sure there must have been insufficient data to make a good prediction as the Japanese cargo ship would be docked on ISS in the morning 27th September, some hours from the time of my flyby, so it made sense that HTV and ISS would be seen much closer. And as soon as ISS climbed a bit up at the SW horizon I was sure HTV would follow it within a very short time. And yes, the cargo ship came 2 minutes after ISS, and their path differed only a little bit so they made an amazing flyby and they looked cool on the startrails image I made with them. (I planned to make a longer startrail pic but clouds intervened.)
