What a fantastic image, the hi-res is great.
I could just imagine what the photographer must have felt after getting that shot.

cheers

Yeh Tony,
It is a once in a lifetime shot.
But the naked eye view was even rarer. it's not often you can see the Shuttle without magnification.
My Grandkids saw the shuttle before I did, Well, they do have better eyesight than me, I am getting old. LOL.
Houghy did a good job though with his shots of them.

Mike.

Whats with Astrobelle?
Internet cows don't know how to look through telescopes.
Normal cows are pretty dumb, internet ones need information punched into them.
