Capture of the current docked Space Shuttle Discovery on mission STS-131
(visible on top upside-down), taken April 15, in the morning. This
image is taken long before closest distance for a 58°max culm pass
(400km), at a distance around 500km. This is done to see a better view
of the shuttle, which is docked with Nose up and back pointed to Earth.
There is a larger viewing angle required to see the shuttle more from 
above. (10inch Newtonian, manually tracked).
