Nasa TV commentator repeating many times that both ISS occupants will be
taking high res pictures of the shuttle from Zvezda's windows.
Does anyone know why one isn't taking from Zvezda while the other from the big
precise WORF in Destiny ? Since they are out to get as many details as
possible, you'd think they would be using the one big window of optical
quality designed for exactly this purpose.
Also, by having one in Zvezda and one in Destiny, the angles of shots might
allow for more "stereo" imaging, comparing features from different angles, as
well as dealing with sun's glare from different angles.
or are they worried about dirtying the pretty window if they open its cover
while the shuttle is manoeuvering some 1000 feet below it ?
