Hi--Here are some close-ups of the ISS with a nice view on the Kibo/Columbus configuration.
The funny thing of this observation is that between both pictures,the station orbits the
Earth completely,which means I had 2 good passes in the same night.The mid-summer night
passes are for a good lightening always difficult.the angle between the object and the sun
is large,giving long shadows,and the solar panels are not pointing well to the observer as
they track the sun.In wintertime,the ISS would never be visible at this hour!)
