Shot the partial lunar eclipse through the open door as my balcony is pretty wobbly. After one hour the moon hid behind the clouds.

2020-06-19, Lunar occulation of Venus.
Shot from Public Observatory Bussloo, the Netherlands with a Canon EOS R and Televue Powermate 4x using the observatories’ Celestron Edge HD1400. Unfortunately, the seeiing was as we are used to, very poor. This video clip is 8x the actual speed of the event.
2020-05-30, Crew Dragon flyby
A couple of minutes after the Internation Space Station, the Crew Dragon followed in the same orbit. Although I did not see the Crew Dragon, the camera (Canon EOS R and Sigma 135mm/F1.8 ART) recorded the flyby very low over the horizon. Individual images from this movie were stacked to show the Crew Dragon (the trail at the bottom of the image).
