ISS captured through my backyard telescope

Currently I was able to take this images of the International Space Station (ISS) under best viewing conditions (seeing) captured from the hometown of the ESA astronaut Dr. Matthias Maurer. The resolution of the images shows details around 20 cm. The docked SpaceX Dragon capsule, with which the current Crew-3 flew to the ISS, can be clearly seen. A wave from Matthias is likely to be spotted 400 km above his hometown of Oberthal, Germany, during his spacewalk on Wednesday. All telescopic images were taken very early in the morning of 7 March 2022. Happy Birthday to Matthias Maurer (March 18)! Clear skies, Sebastian
