About this image

Some minor improvements to my tracking setup resulted in more consistent capture, in slightly worse conditions than the previous evening. This is the best image from the pass, a stack of 14 frames from a nearly overhead position of the ISS showing plenty of detail. There are currently 6 visiting spacecraft docked to the station, of which only Crew Dragon 3 on the left-hand end of the main axis is clearly visible. Cygnus-17 and Soyuz MS-19 and MS-21 are docked on the Earth-facing side but are foreshortened and hard to make out. Progress-79 is docked to the right-hand end of the main axis.
