Just a reminder to watchers -- that black "+" cross in the center is a 'stand-off cross' on a pole,
so any angular position errors can be noted and manually flown out prior to contact. Looks perfectly aligned.

Atlantis has docked to the International Space Station!!
Thanks NASA, NASASPACEFLIGHT, and everyone involved with today's docking for making this morning a very interesting one!
Looking forward now to the Grapple of the Truss.

NASA S&MA hooks closed (12) go for attitude control.
Great images, but let's not go too crazy with the volume of images.

I think its better to limit it to two images per post...
And also, reading back, I see lost of post that say the same.. (For example 75 ft...) We can hear that by watching NASA - TV...

By that token everything noted in this thread is redundant to an external NASA source (TV, website). There's going to be some overlap in updates during events like ascent and rendezvous.
The point is to try to strike a balance between news updates and imagery and consider which might be more important to communicate at a given time.

I'll do some "station keeping" by deleting duplicate posts too. This is also a historical thread, for those unable to get near a PC or NASA TV etc...and in years to come.

The point is to try to strike a balance between news updates and imagery and consider which might be more important to communicate at a given time.
And also to provide a good balance for those who missed an event live. When looking back through the thread later, what is needed IMO is a good balance of commentary and photos. Too many photos makes a thread indigestible, text only news updates often give little more information than can be gleaned from just reading the timeline.
Incidentally, I'll take this opportunity to mention to Chris and/or abacus that when the forum had inline images disabled for the launch on Saturday, there was a problem when clicking on the get attachment button, in that (at least under Firefox on Windows) the images were opened in an external application (Photoshop in my case) rather than being displayed in a browser window. To me that suggests that the MIME type isn't set correctly in the HTTP headers...

Wait, what?
As a scanner user myself I always thought that it was just for Launch/Landing. Can you give a little background, please? I always thought that by this time they'd be using digital satellite downlinks?
I had wonderful comms on Launch Day.
Edit: And also, do they still use the analogue UHF comms for EVAs anymore or is that over to a digital UHF system too?
