Last 2 nights both the ISS and SpaceX's Dragon cargo capsule were
clearly visible over my location (Waalre, The Netherlands).
I got great help of two friends setting up the camera & tracking the
spaceships.
In the night of July 19th they were still separated 4 minutes. ISS
already passed when Dragon showed up.
However, in the night (early morning 03:35 local time...) of July 20th
they were separated only 15 seconds / 115km.
One really sees the two 'following' (trailing) each other (ISS is
followed by Dragon).
We had a bit of a challenge with the full moon.
Fortunately, the basketball field helped out a bit as you can see on
this picture: http://www.pa3guo.com/DSC_7644.JPG
ISS is the bright stripe, the more dimmed stripe (below) is Dragon.
Exposure (lens open): 10 seconds. ISS was approaching.
Subsequent pictures are here:

http://www.pa3guo.com/DSC_7648.JPG (here you see Dragon best)
http://www.pa3guo.com/DSC_7649.JPG
Then my two friends noticed during the final period of the pass that
the Pleiades ("Seven Sisters") were accompanying them:

Well, I finally saw a cargo ship and the ISS passing by together, it
was truly a spectacular view !!

Congratulations. That is really cool.
I see the Dragon streak far behind the ISS, but what is the dot/star
looking thing right behind the ISS?

Hi John,
Also in the past my ISS photo's (with longer exposure, few seconds) had the
same.
I expect a ---- but I get a `----.
Not a straight line, but at the start a curly curve.
It is on all pictures.
I expected it to be related to movement of the camera, eg the pressing of
the button.
But why does the ISS stripe have it, and none of the stars?
Yesterday I took all pictures with an IR remote. Effect is still there.
Maybe the flipping of the mirror internally, but then again, why not the
stars?
Maybe because ISS is that bright ?
Frank answer: no clue.
Anyone ?
Henk

When I take pictures of the ISS like this, I don't get that little
dot/star. So I'm not sure. Interesting though. I think it must be
something about the way you're doing it or something in your setup,
like you suggest.

My first thought was that it was some vibration from the mirror and
shutter, but as you say, it doesn't happen on the stars. Still, if the
ISS is much brighter then any little vibration artifacts will be
brighter too.
Next time, you could try holding a black card in front of (but not
touching) the lens. Then open the shutter, wait a second for everything
to quiet down and then pull the card away.
I thought I read you used a D90? You can also use the mirror lock up
function. There's more vibration from the mirror flipping up than from
the shutter opening. The mirror lock up function pulls the mirror up
out of the way, waits for a second for vibrations to settle down and
then opens the shutter. The it flips back down when the shutter
closes. It's worth a try.

It was originally scheduled to touch down on July 4, in observance of
the American bicentennial, but a sandstorm obscured the landing site.
July 20 was chosen instead because it was the 7th anniversary of
Armstrong and Aldrin landing, and later walking, on the moon.

Hi!
The ARRL just released the July issue of their National Parks on the
Air (NPOTA) newsletter for National Park Service staff and volunteers.
These newsletters are at:
http://www.arrl.org/npota-for-nps
and the July issue is available at:
http://www.arrl.org/files/file/NPOTA-News/NPOTA-July2016.pdf
On the last page of this month's newsletter is a short mention of one
way to deal with an "uncooperative ionosphere" - work satellites. It
shows Fernando NP4JV working a satellite from the South Rim of Grand
Canyon National Park in northern Arizona. If you follow Fernando on
Twitter - he's @xxxxxx or visit http://twitter.com/NP4JV to see his
Twitter activity - you would have seen the photo that appear in this
newsletter on 1 July, when he went up there and worked some passes.
Congratulations, Fernando!
73!

Good afternoon!
It was a nice surprise to find our picture on this month's ARRL National
Park on the Air newsletter! I am humbled by the mention.
I'm also happy to see that some of our trips and portable operations are
helping to promote AMSAT and their goal of ?advancing the state of the art
in space science, space education, and space technology.?

Fernando, NP4JV
