As I have commented on "So you want to track satellites" I don't know the rate of departure of the Dragon. But at least my image is before the deorbit burn. "Here is at last my first successfull nova.astronometry.net submission (+ user_image + job number). 2184237 / 2236185 / 2700962. Couldn't attach an image !" If not the Dragon- could it be that some other module is wanted on the free port? Or would that object be within grappling range? söndag 5 augusti 2018 skrev Leo Barhorst <leobarhorst_at_gmail.com>: > Hello Björn, > > Looking again at the article on Spaceflightnow.com I doubt it was the > Dragon capsule. > It made a de-orbit burn at 21:23 UT and landed 22:17 UT in the Pacific > Ocean. > So it must have been far more than 10 seconds preceding ISS. > > Leo > > > 2018-08-05 7:06 GMT+02:00 Leo Barhorst <leobarhorst_at_gmail.com>: > >> Björn, >> >> The object you saw in front of ISS was the Dragon capsule. >> It was released Aug 3 at 16:38 UT. >> >> Regards >> Leo >> >> 2018-08-04 23:54 GMT+02:00 Björn Gimle via Seesat-l <seesat-l_at_satobs.org> >> : >> >>> > >>> > On "vacation" in Provence I had a (for me) terrific pass of ISS, >>> ascending >>> > from the NE to Vega near zenith around 20:56 UT.
