This afternoon, as Mike Fossum and Piers Sellers carried out the 3rd EVA
the tiny silhouette of the docked spacecraft crossed the Sun.
For me, this was a go - no go - go siutation as the weather here closed in.
However , on a spur of the moment decision I decided to make the 30 mile
round trip to a pre-surveyed location , just in case things cleared up.
Fortunately the sky improved sufficiently to grab a couple of frames:
Location was
-2:55:47.6
53:14:59
