Was out photographing planets, planes & stars and what should come by but the ISS and a mysterious follower. I barely managed to capture it and later found out this must be the SpaceX Dragon space freighter catching up to the ISS as they have now met up early this morning.
That bright object on the far right is Jupiter. Two long exposure photos combined.
During the EVA 43 cosmonauts Sergey Ryazanzy and Fyodor Yurchikhin released the ТС530-Зеркало satellite into orbit.
It looks like a tiny alien spaceship, don't you think?

(NY21 - Aug.30) AFTER APOLLO IS ON THE MOON -- This artist's conception presents one view of what a 12 to 24 man spacecraft may look like when scientists begin to plan for space development after the Apollo landing on the moon. The target date for that project is 1970, after which may come development of space stations, flights to Mars and moon bases. This type of spacecraft would be launched in pieces and assembled in space by astronauts. Crew replacement and supplies would be brought in by smaller craft, left.

S73-31922 (1973) --- An artist's concept illustrating a cutaway view of the general arrangement of the Skylab Rescue Command Module (CM). The standard Skylab CM accommodates a crew of three with storage lockers on the aft bulkhead for resupply of experiment film and other equipment as well as the return of exposed film, data tapes and experiment samples. To convert the standard CM to a rescue vehicle, the storage lockers are removed and replaced with two crew couches in order to seat five crewmen. The rescue CM would then be launched with a crew of two. Photo credit: NASA
Hello Space Station, do you copy? Nice to see you all in video... but it'll be nicer to see you in person in two weeks!
Stazione, mi ricevete? è stato bello poter parlare con i nostri colleghi in video... di persona lo sarà ancora di più!

SL3-115-1833 (6 Aug. 1973) --- Astronaut Jack R. Lousma, Skylab 3 pilot, participates in the Aug. 6, 1973, extravehicular activity (EVA) during which he and astronaut Owen K. Garriott, science pilot, deployed the twin pole solar shield to help shade the Orbital Workshop (OWS). Note the striking reflection of the Earth in Lousma's helmet visor. This photograph was taken with a 70mm hand-held Hasselblad camera. Photo credit: NASA
X-walls from Exosphere. Make your own tech structures with this construction kit of auto-align walls.
My first attempt at the ISS with a dslr.
Looked at my watch and had a crazy couple of minutes taking the camera out of my telescope attaching the kit lens and getting it set for this shot.
Iso was a little high...as you can see I have some distant light pollution to the west which is annoying.

PictionID:46904307 - Catalog:Bono_0145 - Title:S-IVB SM 454999 - Filename:Bono_0145.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
Used the Apps FlareFinder for the alert and Sputnik! for aiming, You can also see the double cluster and Andromeda. Also my exif says I used the kit lens, but I used the 1.4 50mm
S73-23952 (May 1973) --- This is the official emblem for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Skylab Program. The emblem depicts the United States Skylab space station cluster in Earth orbit with the sun in the background. Skylab will evaluate systems and techniques designed to gather information on Earth resources and environmental problems. Solar telescopes will increase man's knowledge of our sun and the multitude of solar influences on Earth environment. Medical experiments will increase knowledge of man himself and his relationship to his earthly environment and adaptability to spaceflight. Additionally, Skylab will experiment with industrial processes which may be enhanced by the unique weightless, vacuum environment of orbital spaceflight. The 100-ton laboratory complex Skylab space station is composed of the Command/Service Module (CSM), Orbital Workshop (OW), Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM), Multiple Docking Adapter (MDA), and Airlock Module (AM).
The NASA insignia design for Skylab is reserved for use by the astronauts and for other official use as the NASA Administrator may authorize. Public availability has been approved only in the form of illustrations by the various news media. When and if there is any change in this policy, which we do not anticipate, it will be publicly announced. Photo credit: NASA
SL2-07-667 (22 June 1973) --- This overhead view of the Skylab Space Station was taken from the Departing Skylab Command/Service Module during the Skylab 2's final fly-around inspection. The single solar panel is quite evident as well as the parasol solar shield, rigged to replace the missing micrometeoroid shield. Both the second solar panel and the micrometeoroid shield were torn away during a mishap in the original Skylab 1 liftoff and orbital insertion. Photo credit: NASA
Striking, rarely published photo of the Skylab Orbital Workshop (OWS) during the initial fly-around inspection by the first crew. Note both the reflection of the earth on the left hand side of the OWS and it's burnt, baked & blistered appearance.
~8.5" x ~11".

On 8/30/18 at 12:38:31.50 The ISS made a transit across the Sun from Lansing, Michigan. Lucky the clouds cleared and we had a great view. ETX 90 telescope, 1250 mm focal length. Canon T1i at 20 frames/sec video. Stacked 13 exposures.
KSC INFO: The Skylab 1 rocket, topped by its enshrouded Skylab 1 space station, was photographed through a launch pad camera's protective cover. The view was taken by a cameraman using a nonpad camera. The unmanned space station is scheduled to be launched from Complex 39a May 14, followed the next day by the lauching of the first three-man crew who will live and work aboard it in orbit for 28 days. The astronauts are Charles Conrad, Jr., mission commander; Dr. Joseph P. Kerwin, science pilot; and Paul J. Weitz, pilot. They will be launched from adjacent Complex 39b aboard Saturn 1b rocket.

Astronaut Charles Conrad Jr. smiles big after a hot shower in space -- Astronaut Charles Conrad, Jr., Skylab 2 commander, smiles happily for the camera after a hot bath in the shower in the crew quarters of the orbital workshop of the Skylab space station. The orbital workshop was built and designed at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.

SL3-28-059 (July-September 1973) --- A vertical view of the Lake Mead and Las Vegas, Nevada area as photographed from Earth orbit by one of the six lenses of the Itek-furnished S190-A Multispectral Photographic Facility Experiment aboard the Skylab space station. Lake Mead is water of the Colorado River impounded by Hoover Dam. Most of the land in the picture is Nevada. However, a part of the northwest corner of Arizona can be seen. Federal agencies participating with NASA on the EREP project are the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Corps of Engineers. All EREP photography is available to the public through the Department of Interior's Earth Resources Observations Systems Data Center, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, 57198. Photo credit: NASA

Inside a laboratory in the Space Station Processing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, LED plant growth lights are being checked out on the hardware for the Advanced Plant Habitat flight unit. The flight unit is an exact replica of the APH that was delivered to the International Space Station. Validation tests and post-delivery checkout was performed to prepare for space station in-orbit APH activities. The flight unit will be moved to the International Space Station Environmental Simulator to begin an experiment verification test for the science that will fly on the first mission, PH-01. Developed by NASA and ORBITEC of Madison, Wisconsin, the APH is the largest plant chamber built for the agency. It is a fully automated plant growth facility that will be used to conduct bioscience research on the space station. Photo credit: NASA/Cory Huston
