6 mins away from capture point. 18m away. Will let the ISS crew decide on if they will wait for orbital sunrise to capture or to do it in night conditions.

13m, strobe commanded off. Houston agreed that was a very good idea. Sounds like they will go for night capture.

Capturing dragons near sunset/around nighttime sounds like something out of 'Reign of Fire'
