Description

Yesterday I managed to photograph the Chinese space station, although the shooting conditions are very difficult - the altitude of the flight is only 24 degrees (unfortunately the maximum altitude in my area is only 28 degrees), the sky is 1/10 by Pickering.

I remembered that I photographed it that year (03/21/2022), there was only one Tianhe module.
And now we see that it is assembled by Tianhe, Wentian, Mengtian, Tianzhou and Shenzhou (cool!).
