Was down there similar dates in 2009 - maybe a week later offset. I think we got lucky with conditions, but it would be an amazing trip regardless. Almost too much good stuff to photograph.
If the ISS already has that lens who is Canon going to sell their 1200mm lens to?
I don't know -- I just copied and pasted that from the page explaining the photo. I think most of the ISS photos I've seen are taken with 80mm or 400mm lenses -- this is the first reference I've seen of to a 1200mmm. Maybe they bought that Canon lens (it would take a government appropriation) and machined up an adapter ... :-)

I just googled the 1200mm canon lens...That thing is huge with a huge price tag. B&H had one but they sold it I assume.
The price started at $120,000 but they reduced the price to $100,000. It also weighs 36.14 lb and is 33 inches in length.
Heh, leave tomorrow morning;)
I most likely will not be able to submit ful raws for validation if i am able to submit at all, so should i put a ticket into the SC?

Shoot RAW + JPG or medium, whichever you can handle: if the JPG is never touched, it's OK for validation.
well, we just saw our first penguins! etc etc etc ;)
we only had 2 nights and a day and a half or so of the Drake Passage, which was very calm... internet is very expensive though.. lol
anyways, about to look at my first pics!
eta: by calm i mean almost hitting our window on the 4th story...
People with needed skill sets can work there on contract through Raytheon. My friend did it for 6mo and by all accounts it was a great adventure, though it was hard on his family.
