Hi,
This is still a result of my STS-126-imaging session on Nov 29 during a pass of the shuttle with 84°elevation over the Netherlands.The shuttle undocked one day earlier from the ISS and landed a day later at Edwards:

One of the surprises:
in the image is a possible resolving of wing-flaps see:

The space shuttle is not equipped with ailerons like a typical airplane. Instead, each wing has two large flaps, or elevons, one inboard and one outboard, that can be positioned independently to produce the same effect as ailerons.
