I saw my first display of noctilucent clouds of the year last night. It was a pretty weak display, but it was still fantastic to look at - glowing blue tendrils of ice and dust up at the edge of space:

It's been a while since I've been out observing or photographing, but I do have one recent pic - an ISS photo from last month:

My video of the Falcon 9 Dragon launch CRS-1. Unfortunately I lost sight of it once it went above the cloud deck and missed out on stage 1 MECO.
Camera: Modified Samsung SDC-435
Telescope: Orion ST-80 (piggybacked on an LX200)

Video of ISS tracking from October 11th. Only 38 degree high pass, but my only chance to see ISS with Dragon docked to it if they undock on-time.
