That is the recent space shuttle atlantis either making an approach or flying away from the ISS
Great capture of Atlantis and the ISS.
Look at how insignificant we humans are against the Sun? All the collective technology in that ISS is just peanuts..

No la...the scope is 1100mm FL. But I think he use a 2X barlow, so FL is around 2200-2300

Well, you can always check for the path of the ISS at certain time of the day. Then just wait for it to coincide with the path of the sun lor....

Cool....but I still prefer your colour version.
From these images, it appears that these guys are doing their maneuvres somewhere near the surface of the sun, but in actual fact they are near the surface of the earth where we are and the sun in the background is 150 million kms away!!
I think 'Wow' just about sums this up.
Watch out for the noise though and your composition could have been better! :bsmilie:
Nah, just kidding, fantastic shot!

fantastic.
reminds me of a forthcoming sci-fi film [march '07] about an expedition to the sun...
director was nice enough to show previz, boards and sets that do not look a million miles from this kind of shot [he used real space imagery [for starting points] anyway, but its nice to see art reflecting reality sometimes, rather than going all hollywood.. but i digress..].

To the TS,
It is only proper to give credit and mentioned the photographer Thierry Legault who submitted the image, on SpaceWeather.com (17 Sep 2006), in the very first post where the image appears.
As it is, it gives the impression that the image was taken by you, it is only through reading the rest of the post that one realized it is not.
Generally, the ISS is nothing natural except the sun and unfortunately there is no astrophotography from in CS, hence this thread will at the moment be allowed to remain here.
The forum main page has specified the images that belongs to the World of Nature:
"World of Nature
Images of animals taken in the wild, in captivity or of pets in your home."

Bro..when I first posted the photo, I have no idea where or who took it. It was later after a long hard search, I managed to find the details of the photo which I later post it.
I don't come here often, so I am not too sure of your rules. All I know is that I didn't say it was taken by me. I post here merely to share. You mean photos posted in this forum can only be those taken by the TS? Cannot be right?
