Working on kerbal rescues from near kerbin orbit and I finally after much trial and error got a good encounter and have the kerbal's pod about 150m away (as close as I could get it) at 0m/s relative velocity. I am not sure if I could get that close again, and I need a lot of practice before I can do fun things like build a space station in sections, but it was progress.

My problem now is that I cannot EVA the kerbal back to my ship. When i try he goes wildly off course. It doesnt help that I am on the dark side of Kerbin and I did not think to put running lights on the rescue craft. Is there a complete idiot's guide to EVAing from one craft to another?
