SpaceX Crew Dragon and ISS - only half success - best frame
Yeesss!!! Now finally I have at least one really bad go on ISS and SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft lol. We all remember (how could we not remember) to this weekend when SpaceX and Nasa simply took our breath.
First on Saturday flawless launch of the SpaceX Crew Dragon atop the famous Falcon-9 rocket. Then on Sunday we watched it docking to the International Space Station, later astronauts entered the Crew Dragon cabin for the very first in history. I still can't believe how easy it looked, what a great work from the team both in space and on the ground.
I was looking forward taking images myself about the solo Crew Dragon on Sunday morning, but weather went down in the loo and with my chances. So today clear morning with starry sky prediced and it was when I left home. But for the flyby clouds rolled in and ruined the chance for a really good imaging session. I was filming ISS though cloud blanked, in some areas thincker and occasionally thinner. Of course it cleared up 30mins later, so bloody typical....
Anyway this week I'll keep on trying and hope one morning I'll have more luck.
This is the Best frame from the best 4 frames I eventually found from the whole session.
Equipment:
Skywatcher 250/1200 Flextube dobson scope
Zwo ASI224MC colour camera
TeleVue 2.5x powermate
