Final tweaks (sharpening, cropping) done in Adobe Photoshop ElementsDescriptionI took some photos of the ISS as it passed overhead on the morning of Nov 6, around 5:45am. I've attached one of these photos, taken as it approached from the SW. I took these photos from the parking lot of Bergen Meadow Elementary. This was just after STS-120 had undocked, after delivering the Harmony modula and repairing the P6 truss solar panels. |
