I'm in the Arrow and I launched from Mercury to orbit. I needed to rendezvous with the XR2 which is in a 2200 km orbit(not far from my GasMiner_Station at that orbit) and is crewless, so I can have Doug Brown, one of my pilots, do a space walk to the XR2 so he can get it docked in the bay. So, when I'm closing in after the trans XR2 injection burn from a lower parking orbit, I intend to do the rendezvous burn at about 1km distance from the XR2. I have nav/com set and the docking mfd. My question is, in the docking HUD, how do I know which velocity vector in the HUD to burn towards in order to decrease the relative velocity? I keep burning on the wrong one and it raises my relative velocity, then I have to turn all the way around and burn the other one, which works, but by that time I have botched the rendezvous!:facepalm:
