Artemis II at 230,000 km, with my telescope

I photographed Artemis 2, while it is traveling towards the Moon, at a distance of 230,000 km from Earth. I added together 60 30 second photos, taken with a Canon 6d full spectrum and a 200/1000 telescope. The trail of Artemis seems to curve, I don't know why. In single photos you can see the brightness change in a few dozen seconds

Artemis 2, 233,000 km away, on its way to the Moon

Last night, I photographed the Artemis 2 spacecraft with my 8" telescope from my backyard. The spacecraft has a magnitude of about +13, and appears as a faint star moving relative to the fixed stars.
