Full of live in low Earth orbit

Observations of Space Shuttle Discovery STS-128 and the ISS taken
1 day ofter launch of the Shuttle and with the Shuttle passing some
23 minutes behind the Space Station. The shuttle was in a considerable
lower orbit fresh after launch, causing a higher apparant speed then the ISS
and a lower altitude above the horizon, namely 37 degrees from here.
To my surprise, the image of the shuttle was quite detailed for the altitude.
The station passes around 64 degrees, so much higher, providing a more
detailed view.

Marked in the ISS image are some details;
We see the Robotic Arm Canadarm 2 in its position awaiting the comming
missions work, and we see a nice view of the Japanese Exposed Facility,
the most recent addition of the previous mission STS-127.

Result of these observations is this composed picture showing totally
13 people in low Earth orbit.....

imagery: 10 inch Newtonian, manually tracked)

Hier eine verbesserte Version:
War überrascht mit das Detail auf unter 40 Grad höhe, eine höhe wo ich normalerweisse nog keine ISS Aufnahmen mache:
