Thanks Selwyn - and everyone helping with the coverage. I'm snowed under with things for another hour or so yet, so great team effort again.

No images for about 20 minutes.
Its well past the pumpkin hour here so I'm off for my beauty sleep. I look forward to catching up with the rest of this tomorrow.
Okay. Thanks for all your great images and coverage!

Think they said, if they continue at this rate, they're going for a plan to do all 3 NOBLs!! Great news.

Yeah, they said they will have a tag-up with the EVA team later to decide on the forward plan, but NOBL 7 (originally a get-ahead task) was definitely on the table. Its nominally a 20min task according to the EVA checklist.
Edit: For reference, the FGS task is due to be completed at 4:00 PET so we'll see.

The HST guys will have to be HAPPY if they get all that. Can't of had too much hope they'd get the whole shooting match.

How much of a get-ahead would be needed to finish off ACS?

None. No spare parts for HRC.

"coming over Hawaii" ... "I guess that's where those jets are going."
Can they actually see airliners? Maybe the contrails?

You can see a space station on orbit, so it is possible to see a jet that is 10 miles closer to them

Should have known as soon as I thanked people for teamwork that all the screenshots would have gone AWOL!

OK... but the space station is only visible when in sunlight against a dark background IIRC.
