Hi all-- this was the image taken during that very bright ISS-pass Marco and others reported. As you can see, especially the port-1 radiators are very bright. The image may present not well how bright this radiator actually was flaring, but if I tell you that in all other ISS passes I imaged over the past 3 years, the radiators never were overexposed, says enough.

You can actually recognize the 7 single windows, 6 side-windows and one top-window. The diameter of the Cupola is around 2 metres. I have added a partial enlargement with some higher contrast and a comparison.
