A few minutes before fly-over deterioration worked out negative as clouds dissapeared fast.Influence of early-evening seeing(within 1 hour after sunset) worked out positive probably. The lighting angle to the observer seems very favourable this time for seeing the new modules Kibo/Columbus.(Righter end side) Ralf Vandebergh (10inch Newtonian reflector used for manually tracking) Edited by Ralf Vandebergh (08/06/08 05:08 PM) Post Extras:       Ralf Vandebergh scholastic sledgehammer Reged: 08/25/06 Posts: 822 Re: ISS new modules in good light on July 30 [Re: Ralf Vandebergh]       #2564457 - 08/06/08 05:10 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   (note also the port-side S3/S4 radiators nice into the light at the bottem of the photo).
