Congrats!  Most folks find that a big hurdle.  I did, too, until I got @NavyFish's superb Docking Port Alignment Indicator.  This is a pop-up HUD window showing just some lines and symbols but once you know how to read them, it makes docking MUCH easier.  You rendezvous up close to the target, control from the docking port on your ship, and select the docking port on the target ship all as norml.  When you do that, the HUD window pops up and gives you steering cues.  Once you're docked, the pop-up goes away.  It's totally brilliant.

BTW, your picture didn't upload.

Congratulations. rendezvous-to-docking is one of my favorite activities in this game. So satisfying.

Yeah. Pretty much every single time I dock I just stare at my ship for a while.

Yeah!Rendevous was pretty difficult but translation and docking was easy!!

My first docking was a simple service mission to a space station. But I was too proud of myself to undock and it ended up being a station module

I almost cried for a second!!

My god, docking. It took me a month to get the launcher right to get the first section into any orbit at all, let alone dock. 2 months after that, I finally got the solar array attached. Docking is basically a must have in the game, but is practically impossible to get without serious help from Mr. Manley.

Nice job! It's always fun to dock things and build space stations.

Congrats!!!  
I won't deny, this was probably my biggest hurdle as well, and I procrastinated for the longest time.
Now it's one of my most favorite things to do.
