We see the Progress 34 (M-67) docked at the aft end of the Russian Zvezda module. First I thought I would miss this Progress which docked July 29 and undocked Sept 21. The image is taken 2 days before undocking, which means I captured now 3 Progress supply ships in a row over the last time (P32, P33 and P34). The image is also taken 2 days after docking of the new Japanese supply ship HTV-1, which is mounted on the Earth facing side. It's visibility is difficult therefore, but you can recognise it at the marked position. The HTV-1 leaved the station recently, Oct. 30 and de-orbited and crashed into the Pacific Ocean on Nov. 1. We also were lucky with the lighting angle in this capture to have a nice view on the Quest Airlock, place for astronauts to leave and enter the station for an EVA. Finally, the Japanese Exposed Facility(JEF) shows good detail. It's mounted on the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) or mostly called Kibo. Imagery: 10inch Newtonian, manually tracked using 6x magnification on the tracking scope. 14 frames taken in good seeing were combined for this capture. ___________________ Ralf Vandebergh Edited by Ralf Vandebergh (11/03/09 07:45 AM) Post Extras:       antimorris sage Reged: 08/16/09 Posts: 245 Loc: San Antonio-ish, TX Re: Latest ISS image with Progress M-67 [Re: Ralf Vandebergh]       #3427296 - 11/03/09 12:01 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Wow - I am impressed. I would love to be able to capture the ISS with my scope but no luck so far - these are great! -------------------- Anna CPC 800 XLT w/FeatherTouch micro-focuser Orion EON 80ED unmodded Nikon D40 Meade DSI II Pro with ATIK Filter Wheel & Outback Razorback Cooler --------------- Morris Astronomy My Astro Blog "sic itur ad astra" Post Extras:       Ralf Vandebergh Pooh-Bah Reged: 08/25/06 Posts: 1253 Re: Latest ISS image with Progress M-67 [Re: antimorris]       #3427763 - 11/03/09 04:05 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Thank you Anna, Keep try shooting!
