Details:
I recorded the ( Tiangong ) Chinese Space Station In New " T " Configuration on 11-08-22 Max 68° pass at 10:06pm EST from my Manorville NY Observatory. The seeing was not good. My imaging configuration was an Edge HD 14" telescope with and Baader Red 610 nm Longpass 1.25" filter on a ZWO ASI174MM (mono) camera and Baader Planetarium Carl Zeiss 2x Barlow Lens.
Please Note: The basic construction of China's space station is complete, following a maneuver to shift the recently arrived Mengtian Module Lab to its permanent docking port on Node Cabin .
China launched Mengtian, the third and final module for its Tiangong space station, on Oct. 31. Mengtian, which means "dreaming of the heavens," docked at a forward port at Tiangong 13 hours later.
The Mengtian Module Lab was then moved from that forward port on Tiangong to a portside berth on the station's docking hub. The process involved a 90-degree turn of the module and was completed at 0132 GMT (9:32 a.m. Beijing time) on Thursday (Nov. 3) using a purpose-made powered mechanical device.
