Finally after months of waiting another oppertunity to capture a shuttle docked to the ISS !!!!.
Tonight I had a beautifull pass of the ISS with STS-132 docked right over my observatory and I was able to capture the image of ISS with a view of the topside of Atlantis wings.

Telescope: Meade LX90, photographed with Nikon D70 with 2x converter at ISO 1000, 1/640 second, manually tracked through Red-dot finder.

This might have been my last chance to take a picture like this with the shuttle program winding down.

What a great way to say goodbye to Atlantis !!!!
:cheers:

Oh, you lucky person. I'm envious... If only the sky would clear up around here.
Great camera-work, too. Very clear picture! I can make out Atlantis's profile behind the ISS quite easily.
 
Beautiful. :thumbup:
