    Hi Bob......
    
    I had my eye stuck in a view finder for the whole pass , so I couldnt really 
    distinguish any notable time difference , but I suspect you are right about 
    it only being minimal.
    
    A further update has been added to the video page , it shows the forward 
    facing P6 radiator and also what I think is a slightly better glimpse of 
    Soyuz.
    
    I have had three clear days in a row here.......coinciding with the high 
    elevation passes....most unusual :O)
