Missed this APOD picture from last week:

If I told you it was a webcam image will you believe me?

That image is amazing! I think even NASA may not have such a detailed photo of the shuttle docked to the ISS.

Hmmmm... i must try to image the ISS with my scope from Singapore. So far i have yet to even glimpse it through the telescope. Only with a hand-held bino.

I think Chris "crop" the original pic. Atlantis is at the 225deg position of ISS.

OIC! Thanks Clifford!

But I don't have a 25-inch RC scope to take such pictures...

p.s. I don't think it's webcam - it said 'Digital Video Camera'
