The Crew-11 Dragon space capsule re-entered near San Diego earlier this morning in a blaze of glory.

The sun this afternoon in the southern California sky through a Thousand Oaks solar filter. You can see the region of heavy solar activity AR4299 in the middle left region through a bit of haze. #sonyalpha #200600g #nature

Timelapse of the International Space Station in front of today's sun using a Baader solar filter and a SONY a1ii with a 600mm/f4 lens. My best ever! You can clearly see the solar panels and even the sections of the station - most likely even the newly-docked Crew Dragon 11 that just docked!
