Morning all,

Having had chance to look at my images from last night I realise that 
perhaps Endeavour is not so bland after all.

I had overlooked a batch of pics that showed the orbiter a little nearer and 
once I figured out the flight attitude , all became clear.
I expected Endeavour to be flying payload bay down , however it was in fact 
tail up , nose down with the underside earth pointing .

Shows the two spacecraft in a combined picture ( they were of course three 
minutes apart , about 1200km (?)
2233 BST (ISS) and 2236 BST ( Endeavour)
