Hey, i just saw these pictures on the Bad astronomy blog.

http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2010/04/16/space-the-big-picture/

Astronaut Soichi Noguchi has become the ISS's offical photographer (he twitpic's everything, which is pretty cool).

This image got me thinking though.

Seems like a pretty low quality image, taken at 51200 ISO, perhaps more, depending on the camera. I was surprised to see something so "webcam" like.

What do you think?

Maybe he should try open the window, it looked kind of dirty ;~)

That's not possible, he's actually photographing from the cockpit of a TIE fighter.

Beside, we all know that digital photography was never the Empire's main line of business...
