Every time I meet someone defending manned spaceflight for aesthetical reasons (to attract the public and raise funds...) I show him that photo of a crescent Neptune with Triton. Now I have another evidence to demonstrate that you only need a small CCD camera on the right place at the right time to catch the beauty of space, not seven guys inside a sardine can. I've seen similar shots but this is by far the most spectacular of them maybe due to the launch time with that sun on the horizon... Wow! Perhaps Justin Ray could post a better quality copy on his Website, preferably in MPEG format and full length. ;-) -- Ruben Velasco <heston@arrakis.es> 37.3906N 6.0008W +39m WGS84 PGP KeyID 37219E45 Fingerprint = 96575B8713370081 1BC5D43D324B3F4D ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
