In r astronomy, a viral backyard capture of the Orion capsule highlights how hobbyists push gear and ephemeris tracking to document headline missions, even when the result is only a few pixels.

Pushing the limits of my ability as a hobby astronomer, I managed to capture pictures of the Orion capsule very early this morning from my backyard near Melbourne, Australia.
This is in my 8 inch Newtonian scope on a HEQ5 Pro, with a Sony a7IV, sets of either 4 or 6 second exposures at ISO 3200.
