i think I am getting my technique together for this ,certainly for getting it in the frame. next time I am going for more magnification but that will make it more difficult to frame up, and make the scope darker so I will have to guess the iso and exposure to hit the sweet spot.
Thrilled that we captured both the cargo ship ATV5 and the International Space Station tonight!
ATV5 is due to dock with the ISS on 12th August, taking valuable supplies up to the present crew ;0)
PictionID:46907787 - Catalog:Bono_0033 - Title:Rombus DAC 12588 - Filename:Bono_0033.tif - Philip Bono was a renowned space engineer who was probably 30 years before his time. He was born in Brooklyn, NY on January 13, 1921. He graduated from the University of Southern California in 1947 with a B.E. degree in mechanical engineering, and served three years in the U.S. Naval Reserves. After graduation in 1947, Mr. Bono worked as a research and systems analyst for North American Aviation. His first "tour" with Douglas Aircraft Company was from 1949 to 1951, doing structural layout and detail design. From 1951 to 1960, he worked primarily in structures design at Boeing. - ---Please Tag these images so that the information can be permanently stored with the digital file.---R---Repository: San Diego Air and Space Museum
A nice looking “vintage” space station (in what appears to be a pretty high orbit), of the artificial gravity inducing design, with zero/low gravity central hub & extending arms/booms. The region of earth depicted appears to be Southeast Asia and Australia...odd choice.
Artwork is by William C. House, a prominent Aerojet-General engineer - another one in the WIN column!
The same space station is found here, in a near identical "mirror" perspective, and featuring an “ion rocket ship” docked/berthed atop the parasol-like radiator(?):

Thought I’d have another crack at photographing the ISS this year! Caught from Holmlea park, The ISS flies past Mars (brightest object in the middle towards the top) over Glasgow.
Currently onboard as part of ISS Expedition 64 are Sergei Ryzhikov (commander) and Sergei Kud-Sverchkov of Roscosmos
Kate Rubins, Mike Hopkins, Victor Glover and Shannon Walker of NASA
and Sochi Noguchi of JAXA.
There’s actually another satellite or piece of debris beneath the ISS, going between bottom right and top left, that I only noticed when editing! Photo 335/366
The International Space Station (ISS) passed almost directly overhead on December 27, 2013, around 18:30 EST (23:30 UTC), shining at a bright magnitude -3.3 at its maximum elevation.

A rare view of one of the flight capable Skylab Orbital Workshops (OWS), at the McDonnell Douglas Astronautics Co. facility in Huntington Beach, CA. Possibly/probably(?) the first/flown OWS?
If the OWS is the backup, aka “Skylab B”, then it’s the one that’s been on display at the NASM since 1976. If so, then even in this 1971 photograph, it did not yet have its micrometeoroid shield/sunshade installed. So then, safe to assume that it never did? I sort of thought that it was (at some point) removed in order to replicate the condition/configuration of the one flown. I’ve never seen it in person; however, from photos I’ve seen, it was/is? indeed displayed with one solar array wing extended.
To the left, mounted on its work jig & surrounded by work platforms looks to be one of the Skylab Saturn IB S-IVB stages. I think.

At 1:16pm (ET) today (Wednesday, December 5, 2018) #SpaceX successfully launched and (quasi-) landed a shiny-new #BlockV #Falcon9 rocket, the #CRS16 mission carrying supplies (including non-moldy mouse food) to the International Space Station.
The Galactic Assault War Station 3 (GAWS-3) or referred to as the "Nebula Prime". It is an Ares class war station that is heavily armed and fitted to destroy any enemy ship. Commissioned by the USSDF (United States Space Defense Force) in 2237, its primary task is to defend the USSDF assets and provide Sub-Orbital support with ground operations.

A view of radishes growing in the Advanced Plant Habitat (APH) ground unit inside the Space Station Processing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Dec. 14, 2020. The radishes are a ground control crop for the Plant Habitat-02 (PH-02) experiment. The experiment also involves growing two similar radish crops inside the International Space Station’s APH. NASA astronaut Kate Rubins harvested the first crop on Nov. 30, and the second harvest aboard the orbiting laboratory is planned for Dec. 30. Once samples return to Earth, researchers will compare those grown in space to the radishes grown here on Earth to better understand how microgravity affects plant growth.

This ultraviolet photograph of a massive solar flare, spanning a third of a million miles into space, was taken on December 19, 1973, during the Skylab 4 mission by a telescope mounted on the Apollo telescope mount designed and built at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. Skylab included eight separate solar experiments on its Apollo telescope mount: two X-ray telescopes, an X-ray and extreme ultraviolet camera, an ultraviolet spectroheliometer, an extreme-ultraviolet spectroheliograph and an ultraviolet spectroheliograph, a white light coronagraph, and two hydrogen-alpha telescopes.

I first noticed it in the pan of the big dipper but took time to turn my camera to get the trail more centered. The station is bright till it passes into the earths shadow and then you can barely see it. It passed over at 9:59 PM this evening. The exposure was 56 seconds. If you want to know when the station will pass over your location sign up at this web site: HQ-spotthestation@mail.nasa.gov
Just playing with my camera, trying to get a feel for things. The space station is the streak to the left of Orion. This was a 40 second exposure at f/4 and ISO 200.

Super-Fast Spacecraft Could Slow Down Using Alpha Centauri's Starlight as Brakes
Last year, a consortium led by billionaire Yuri Milner and physicist Stephen Hawking announced a plan to get to Alpha Centauri, the nearest star system to Earth. Called the Breakthrough Starshot Initiative, the plan is to send ultra-light "nanoprobes" to the system in 20 years by accelerating them to 20 percent of the speed of light using powerful lasers.
breakthroughinitiatives.org/Initiative/3
A group of German researchers — while fully supportive of the initiative — worried that without an important tweak, however, the science might suffer. One of these nanoprobes would be able to dash the Earth-moon distance in just six seconds at that speed. With this in mind, the researchers devised some ideas about how to slow the nanoprobes down so they can carry out some observations when they arrive at their destination (rather than zipping through the system at high speed), potentially spotting Proxima Centauri b, a possible habitable planet that orbits Alpha Centauri's oddball red dwarf sibling, Proxima Centauri.
"The solution is for the probe's sail to be redeployed upon arrival so that the spacecraft would be optimally decelerated by the incoming radiation from the stars in the Alpha Centauri system," said scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Gottingen, led by Rene Heller, in a statement.
www.mpg.de/11019256/full-braking-at-alpha-centauri
"During the approach to Alpha Centauri, the braking force would increase," they added. "The stronger the braking force, the more effectively the spacecraft's speed can be reduced upon arrival. Vice versa, the same physics could be used to accelerate the sail at departure from the solar system, using the sun as a photon cannon."
www.seeker.com/is-hawkings-interstellar-starshot-possible...
The plan is for the spacecraft to go to the star Alpha Centauri A at a distance of about four million kilometers, moving at about 4.6 percent the speed of light. Any higher and the probe would go right past the star, rather than being caught in the star's gravitational field.
If the probe goes in at just the right speed and just the right place, the spacecraft would be attracted by the star's gravitational field and could be swung around the star, similar to how spacecraft in our solar system sometimes move between planets. One option here would be to keep the spacecraft in the Alpha Centauri A system to look at its planets, but the scientists would prefer to also include Alpha Centauri B and Proxima Centauri, the other two stars in the system.
"The sail could be configured so that the stellar pressure from star A brakes and deflects the probe toward Alpha Centauri B, where it would arrive after just a few days. The sail would then be slowed again and catapulted towards Proxima Centauri, where it would arrive after another 46 years — about 140 years after its launch from Earth."

A passage of the International Space Station high across the north in the late blue hour of twilight, with the stars appearing, though the ISS outshines them all. This was the 5:17 pm pass on December 6, 2018 from southern Alberta, and taken with a fixed camera on a tripod, so the stars are trailing slightly as the rotate about Polaris at lower centre. The view is looking north though the fish-eye lens takes in much of the sky. The Big Dipper skims low across the north at botton.
On board was Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques on his third day in space of a 6-month mission.
This is a stack of 21 10-second exposures at f/3.5 with the Sigma 8mm lens and Canon 6D MkII at ISO 400. The one-second interval between exposures adds the gaps.

pyramid_portal: Wow!
I had headed out to catch the ISS along with the SpaceX CRS11 resupply ship, which should have appeared around 10 minutes before the ISS.
Sadly the CRS11 launch was scrubbed 30 minutes before launch due to adverse weather conditions. So it was a simple (no pressure) ISS pass to see..
