International Space Station early this morning. The small dot indicated by the red arrow I believe is the SpaceX Dragon capsule. Celestron EdgeHD 8 with ZWO ASI224 camera and UV/IR filter.

Better capture this morning as the range was closer. Celestron EdgeHD 8 with ZWO ASI224 camera and UV/IR filter (exposure 0.325ms, gain 330). The SpaceX Dragon Capsule is clearly visible at the bottom of the structure.

"Unflipped" my image to compare to a NASA diagram.

Wow, great ... no amazing photo. That is a lot of detail to catch something that is moving at 17,500 mph in total darkness.

Actually exposure is close to daytime as it is sunlit. 1/2000s F10 ISO 3200.
