Details:
The SpaceX Inspiration 4 spacecraft traveling across the moonlit sky on September 16, 2021. This was the first all-civilian crew of astronauts (four) to travel into orbit. They had launched the day before on September 15.
The spacecraft appears as a series of streaks traveling from low in the SW (at right of centre here) to higher in the SE (at left), flying above the bright Moon, and Jupiter to the left of the Moon. Saturn is the brightest object just above the Moon.
The path is of the spacecraft is broken into dashes by stacking of several 30-second exposures. I shot this from home in southern Alberta with the Canon 15-35mm lens at f/2.8 on the Canon R6 at 400.
