ISS: going back to basics (+ a late spotted SpaceX Crew-Dragon module!)

[Kon]

I decided to shoot ISS with my Nikon at prime focus rather than the ASI120mc-s. I found that due to theNikon's  larger sensor, I can capture more details since the Dob has time to settle from vibrations whereas with the ASI120mc-s i am chasing ISS to keep it in the imaging window. I feel i am pulling more details and I want to get a barlow that will allow me to reach focus with the DSLR to get higher magnification. Exposure 1/4000s, iso 1600. PIPP, Autostakkert and Astrosurface for sharpening.

I was doing some reading about ISS earlier today and I realised that in my images I have captured the SpaceX Crew-Dragon module docked to ISS!!! I am even more excited with these captures. I have added an annotated image below.

Very good capture, despite the amount of ISS images around it is not easy to get a good image. Some very nicely details visible there.
