Observation of Spaceshuttle Atlantis,one day after launch
above the Netherlands(February 8),but not straight over my observing site which
is in the south of the Netherlands(the shuttle flew more north)
resulting in a maximum pass of 52‹ altitude.This limits resolution
but offers a nice but difficult viewing angle.Atlantis was at its way
to the ISS at that time.It docked one day later on Saturday.

Here is another set of images showing spaceshuttle Atlantis one
day after launch on February 8,in a pass of 53‹maximum altitude
over the Netherlands.The observing angle was difficult but provides
a special lightning angle showing light and shade on the wings,and
open Payload Bay doors.
