          It is certainly brighter now than ever before. Time to change the
    "standard" magnitude on the ISS. Any suggestions?

          The images were absolutely awesome. I especially liked the one
    from May 31/01 where both sets of panels are clearly visible. On a
    similar note, film has come to the end of the road as such work requires
    CCD and/or video. Ditto for many other aspects of astrophotography! RIP.
    
    Anthony.
