We look onto the port and starboard solar panels from a certain angle during a pass with 63°southern elevation.The new modules are this time partially in shadow,but still a large part of the Kibo lab can be seen just on top,right from the mid. Further a good view on the port-side radiators.(10inch f/4.8 Newtonian,handtracked) Best wishes, Ralf Edited by Ralf Vandebergh (07/31/08 07:35 AM) Post Extras:       Ralf Vandebergh scholastic sledgehammer Reged: 08/25/06 Posts: 844 Re: ISS like an Eagle(july 29) [Re: Ralf Vandebergh]       #2552316 - 07/31/08 11:15 AM Attachment (27 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Here is an additional image from this session.

Are the solar panels actually spread or is it just the angle of the shot? -------------------- Hutch Celestron ASGT C8 William Optics Z66SD Meade 3.3 Focal Reducer Meade Dsi-c Meade Dsi-Pro II Plillips SPC900NC Post Extras:       FoxK Carpal Tunnel Reged: 11/07/07 Posts: 1810 Loc: Cape Cod, MA Re: ISS like an Eagle(july 29) [Re: chutch44]       #2561637 - 08/05/08 11:53 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Nice one Ralf! Apparently, the solar panels are moveable to orient them to the sun? In your image they look perpendicular to the main body and in mine, parallel. -------------------- Orion 80mm ED Apo Refractor 8" Classic Dob (used as Newtonian on CG5 mount) Meade 70-AZ-A 70mm Guider using PHD LS60TCaK/B600/C CG-5 Advanced GT Mount Nikon D40x with T-Adaptors Philips SPC900NC Imaging Source DMK 21AU04.AS Dome=the box my mount came in so I can see my solar images in bright sun lol - click for cloud prediction for Plymouth, MA. area Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 3 registered and 8 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
