[FPSPACE] Daylight station with Discovery and EVA in progress

[John Locker]

There's an EVA in progress , Discovery is docked...and all I get is a
daylight pass :O(
However the persistant cloud breaks for a while....and the station skips
across the sky like a saucer skipping across a pond ! ( Apologies to Mr
Arnold...........did he ever really say that ! )


Not as easy as it looks.....and to acquire the images I had to widen my
field of view to about 6 arc minutes.
ISS is shown in "reverse " mode , Jules Verne leading .....
