2023年8月2日2时32分满月，由于该时发生于8月2日13时52分月球过近地点（约35万7311公里）之前仅相差约11小时20分钟，因此该次满月看起来会较大。满月时月球距离地球约35万7528.078公里，月面视直径33.052角分，使其成为年度第二大满月。

本年(2023)最大满月发生在8月31日9时36分。由于月球在30日23时54分通过近地点（约35万7181公里）后近9个小时42分钟，因相对距离月球比较近，所以月面看起来会觉得比较大，是本年度13次满月中的最大满月，满月时月球距离地球约35万7340.93公里，月面视直径约为33.43角分，比今年2月6日那次满月（年度最小满月）的视直径大了约13.5%。

In fact, moon is at closest on 21 Jan, 20:57:06 2023 UTC (New moon)

CMOS sensor trends and astrophotography, from amateur astronomers perspective

Nowadays, even in low light conditions, digital camera can quality pictures with higher ISO, noise and hot pixels have been gradually reduced. Sony has introduced back illumination process for consumer market. Sony BSI sensors evolved from Exmor to now Exmor RS( stacked) technology. This stacked technology allows further chip size reduction, which has strong demands in smartphone camera market. Digital astrophotography is also benefited from such advances, utilising Back Side Illumination technology Exmor: Within the CMOS sensor, it outputs low-noise digital signals by "on-chip column AD conversion" and "dual noise reduction" to suppress noise in the first half of the process In low light conditions, when a wide aperture is desirable to collect as much light as possible. At apertures wider than f/2.0, back-illuminated Exmor R sensors are significantly more efficient at collecting light than conventional, front-illuminated sensor...

ultrafast rendezvous to ISS

14 Oct 2020, being the first to use a new “ultrafast” rendezvous” scheme with the ISS. Following a flawless ascent to the correct orbit, Soyuz 2 .1a , Soyuz MS-17 caught up with the orbiting laboratory in only two orbits (three hours), halving the time it takes for crew to get to the Station. The three space travelers of the Soyuz MS-17 mission launched on a six-month mission the International Space Station. previous 3/4 orbit rendezvous: Soyuz MS-16 4 orbit rendezvous A three-orbit profile was deemed possible without major flight design changes after inauguration of the Soyuz 2-1A rocket that provides a much higher orbit injection accuracy than its predecessors and would allow the two correction maneuvers on Orbit #2 to be eliminated while the Automated Rendezvous Phase would still remain untouched. The deletion of the Orbit #2 maneuvers was expected to slightly tighten the already restrictive phase angle window from and upper limit of 30-35° to 25-28°...
