Attached is a version with the JEMRMS marked


Visible at the JEM(Japanese Kibo LAB)is the JEMRMS,the shape is visible well.
The European Columbus LAB shows also good detail with clearly the External Payload Facility(EPF)
with the European experiments SOLAR(Sun Monitoring on the External Payload Facility of Columbus).


The Quest Airlock Hatch is the place were astronauts leave the Space Station for a spacewalk.
Although I earlier captured images of the Quest,I know succeeded to image the Hatch itself as
a dark shade at the right place on the airlock.I earlier saw in live docking-video of the ISS that
under certain lighting conditions the closed Hatch can be appear as a dark shade.

A Nasa image of this area can be found here:

The Lira Antenna is the Russian antenna for communication with the Earth station.
It is located along the aft end of the Zvezda module.
It is well visible in this observation last January.Note also some nice detail in the
