Atlantis undocked. Updated

Here are some images from tonight's pass of the ISS and Atlantis, which was conducting a flyaround of the station. EOS 550D and 12" Dobsonian in both HD and video crop mode. I will trawl the videos for more frames...

Update: I've uploaded another pic revealing the Atlantis as a faint object, possibly the underside or in the ISS's shadow?

Another Update: I've included a video of every single frame that had recorded the ISS/Atlantis on it. I've stacked them all together into an avi and added the sound of my family watching the pass: http://www.flickr.com/photos/vontom/...n/photostream/ . It appears that initally the Atlantis' underside is visible then, as the perspective changes during the pass, the topside becomes visible.

Here's a link to youtube of an animation and actual footage from the undocking and flyaround: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PEp9fjeLME
