Crew Dragon Endeavour chasing the ISS

Description

I headed out last night to image the ISS flying by hoping to see Dragon DM-2 as well. I honestly didn't expect to see it with the light pollution and moonlight, but sure enough, I did! And not only that, but I also caught it flaring! Perhaps from a reflection off of the solar panels? No way to know for sure, but it certainly was awesome to witness with my own eyes at least a part of such a historic mission.

On the right is the ISS which is being chased by Bob and Doug in their SpaceX Dragon capsule on the left, 10hrs after launch. Since arriving in orbit they have nicknamed it "Endeavour". At the time of the photo, they were both fast asleep so they could be well-rested for their docking with the ISS in the morning, which went off without a hitch.
