Details:
Astrophotographers who regularly photograph the ISS may spot that the structure of the station has changed notable in their images since last May. This is what you see:
On May 27, NASA relocated thePermanent Multipurpose Module, or PMM, from the Earth-facing port on the station's Unity node to the Tranquility node's forward port. The new location makes it possible to see this module that was formerly known as MPLM easily in telescopic images when the station passes overhead. On its previous location at the Earth-facing side, it was nearly invisible in ground-based images.
Inage was taken with manually tracked 10 inch aperture reflecting telescope and monochromatic CCD camera.
