About this image

I watched the earlier pass through binoculars and could clearly see Starliner about a degree behind the ISS.  Spent the next orbit setting up my gear.  I manually tracked the ISS visually tracked with finder.  I could clearly see Starliner about 200m from the ISS.  This is a stack of 14 frames captured in a <2.5 sec window.
