Thanks for that.

Missed the shuttle but saw the station.

Here's the shuttle:

I would have got something better but left it to the last minute.
Found the batteries in the camera flat.
Found the spare batteries almost flat.
Didn't give myself time to set the camera up.
Put it on AUTO and B setting pressed the button and the batteries died after about 30 seconds.

I hope I got the setting right this time so you can see it.
