Observation Notes:<\/b><\/p>\n

With the SpaceX Dragon supply vehicle a few hours away from docking with the ISS, I thought I’d have a look tonight. No luck spotting the Dragon, but it did give me a chance to follow the ISS at the telescope. At the shallower angle, I didn’t notice as much detail in the solar panels as the last observation, but the structure of the central modules did get some added dimension from the radiators.<\/p>\n
