Today I had fun capturing the Orion capsule, traveling toward the Moon, at a distance of 314,500 km from Earth while I was taking the photos.

Compared to yesterday it has dimmed by two magnitudes, now it’s around +15 and was barely visible in the RAW files.

I stacked 32 shots of 30 seconds each: the capsule appears as a dashed line, and the central part is missing because it was hidden behind nearby TV antennas, since it was very low on the horizon.
