Hi all--This is what came out as a second result of the selection
frames from my Dec 27, 2008 session during a 75°northern elevation pass.
Thanks to the very clear sky of this day,the earlier mentioned cyan
or blue-green color reflected in the bright white parts of the station is
particularly well visible.I expect that this must be reflected Earth-light.
The big Kibo lab seems to share a lot in this.
Unless the weather and seeing offers good oppertunities to observe
the station late Januar,this is probably one of my last images of the
ISS in this configuration.Mid Februar,the last large solar panel will
be delivered,making the entire shape definitely symmetric.
Unless there will be anything special to report,I will announce myself
again then.
