ISS from earth in summer 2010

Private astronomer Henri Schulz photographed the ISS near Leipzig/Germany (mirror telescope, 30 cm, selfmade). This photo shows the spacestation on June 28th 2010.

You can see:
- the russian moduls Svesda and Zarya (down, middle, bright)
- the US moduls Unity, Tranqility and Destiny (middle, bright)
- the japanese Kibo-module with his storage (up, left, dark)
- the european Columbus-Module (up, right, dark)

The large bright panels are not solar panels. They are heat exchanger.

You cannot see the small modules: airlocks, Cupola, Soyuz and Progress. Also the large solar panels are to dark.
