About this image

The Artemis 1 NASA mission on its way home from the Moon. If I am reading the Horizons output right then it was 398,000km away at the time.

Managed to get in a partially clear sky that meant 50% of frames were cloudy.

Its brighter than during my previous (failed) attempts and way less hazy.

Excellent. I was thinking on Monday that it should be visible but it was too close to the Moon then. I'll use this in Sky Notes on Saturday.
