Don't think so that it is noise or artefacts. As you see is the outer edge
of the shuttle pretty smooth.
And you can easily see the cockpit which indicates the detail level.
There are a lot of reflections in the region of the payload bay and the
orbiter boom sensor etc.
certainly, seeing can deform the detail a little, but I'm sure its real
detail.

I will post a more extended 'tutorial' processing later, but please be a
little patient.
thanks,
Ralf
