I hope someone got captures of all that debris flying around during the Dragon slowdown. Dragon plume impingement?

Have we seen this ammount of thruster firing also on HTV and ATV?

Don asking about capture timing...thinks they may be grappling at night. Notes that all the SSRMS lights are out.

Ground has not determined a new capture time.

will go when Don thinks he has good enough lighting

When is the next orbital sunrise?

keeping an eye on http://www.lizard-tail.com/isana/tracking/ is a good way to track when to expect the next sunrise / sunset. It displays an updating time to sunrise / sunset along with the position data in the info panel in the top left corner.
