Hi Darwin,

There's no Dragon capsule at the ISS right now, but the Cygnus cargo vehicle docked around 8:01am on October 5th. So the vehicle would have been already docked by the time that you took the images.

Subject: ISS last night.

I tried photographing the ISS last night, using a friend's SVBONY SV205
camera. Not being familiar with it, I don't know what to expect with the
camera's exposure, senisitivity, etc. It is also a CMOS chip instead of
a CCD chip like my Imaging Source camera. It has a rolling shutter, of
course.


My tracking was way off, but I eventually got it into the field of view
of the camera. It doesn't look like the ISS. Was the Dragon capsule
separated at the time (10-6-2020 at 8:40 PM EDT)? I wonder if the shape
of it was distorted by the rolling shutter, although in each frame the
shape looked pretty much the same.
