The crew just checked in with CAPCOM and it sounds like they are setting up for approach/capture--about 2 hours before they normally start their official duty day with the morning DPC. CAPCOM reports Dragon is "looking good and on time."

Morning DPC started. Dragon 12 km behind, 2km below and the last burn was 7 minutes early. No problems reported.
