(For clarity; during my capture there was no astronaut outside). However, you can find an image of a spacewalking astronaut on my website: http://ralfvandebergh.startje.be/vieuw.php?qid=328303 Image: 10inch Newtonian, manually tracked using a 6x magnifying trackingscope, composite of 14 frames taken in good seeing) ________________________ Ralf Vandebergh Post Extras:       Ralf Vandebergh Pooh-Bah Reged: 08/25/06 Posts: 1389 Re: 2009/09/19 ISS center close-up [Re: Ralf Vandebergh]       #3432303 - 11/06/09 03:44 AM Attachment (21 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   subject: 2009/09/18 ISS observations additional ______________________________________________ I have marked 2 more elements visible in the image.
