ISS and HTV-8 last night (not in the same field of view)
I was waiting for one clear night after many failure in the past few days. Tonight it cleared up and I knew ISS will be followed by the japanese HTV-8 cargo spacecraft due to be berthed tomorrow at some time. HTV-8 appeared about 2 mins after ISS and it was bright, between mag +1 and mag +2 I recon.
The cargo spacecraft is not remarkably good on my photo, not as good as my previous HTV-7 photo, but the colours give away its shape (the orientation of HTV is horizontal I recon, the white blob on my photo is the whitish coloured bottom part of HTV).
Equipment:
Skywatcher 250/1200 Flextube dobson telescope
Zwo ASI 224 MC colour camera
TeleVue 2.5x powermate
Manually tracked!
