Here is a view of ISS with Spaceshuttle Endeavour(with its backside
pointed to Earth)docked,obtainded on Aug 11, 20:45 UTC
Especially the wings of Endeavour are visible very well.
80°overfly during EVA 1,just new S5 truss segment mounted)
10in Newtonian/ATK-1HS-11 camera)




Here is finally the complete movie of the Aug 11 overfly
of spaceshuttle Endeavour(STS-118)docked to the ISS:
(please give some time to load)



The selected frame shows us the moment wenn just
the heatshield turns toward us.I chose a frame were
just the nose-tip of the shuttle sticks out under
the shield,which allows us to estimate the angle
were under we look onto the backside of the shuttle
during this overfly(around 80°max culm).

Additionally,a small movie selected on the docked
shuttle itself.




This is not an image of a barred spiral galaxy, but another shot
of the heatshield of Spaceshuttle Endeavour(taken Aug 11, 2007),
seen under a larger angle.The surprising regular shape is a perspective 
effect caused by the angle which we looking at.The bulge at the upper side 
is actually the bulge in the heatshield on the backside of the shuttle
