Here we are with another Shuttle launch. Only another 1000 days to go. We're going to miss that.
HD television is available @nasa new web site but not for live videos unfortunately. May be one day on the net. On top of Colombus delivery, when Atlantis will leave the ISS, we'll have the 3rd version (out of 4 scheduled) of the 16's ISS expedition crew as follow : Witson - Malenchenko - Anderson Witson - Malenchenko - Tani Witson - Malenchenko - Eyharts Witson - Malenchenko - Reisman It's nice that (the) Atlantis will deliver Colombus (remind me of something) -------------------- |

Just had a beautiful pass of ISS/Atlantis across clear skies in Washington DC this evening. I started a shot of it as it was passing beneath Orion's belt. Coincidentally, the time exposure ended just as ISS crossed in front of the Orion Nebula (M42).
Edit: This was my first sky photo with my new camera - 13 seconds unguided exposure at f4 and ISO200 equivalent. There are mag 8.8 stars visible in the original, and this was still in twilight. -------------------- Jonathan Ward
