"Internal" reflection - two HSTs!

They tell us don't photograph through a window, don't they?

What is actually causing the "ghost"? I cannot quite quite work it out.

Otherwise, an inspiring image!

The shuttle windows are thick glass, no doubt there's some internal reflections or refraction going on.

cheers, Bird

I was thinking what a pair of fussy buggers you both were as it
looks a pretty flawless pic to my non imaging eyes

Have to get a web page up and running. "Hubble Space Telescope in same class as Moon Landings" it's all done with mirrors and computer graphics. Note the reflection in this pic.

Yeah, ghost's/smoke and mirrors...pfftt.

I'm putting my money on the double glazing on the shuttle's windows. I reckon these were taken from the windows around the arm control area (personell area to control the boom)
