Looks like they're ready for undocking...given they're going into orbital darkness and undocking is only about 20 minutes away, sunrise would be after undocking...

will there be a flyaround and pictures from the whole complex after undocking? I'd like to see the station with the new panels!

Will they do the one and a quarter lap around ISS or will they just do the quarter lap over the top like STS-121 did? I'd like to think they'll do the entire fly-around to document the complex.

PAO was expecting good live TV, but we'll have to see.

Yes, this was covered yesterday in briefings and press conferences; they have enough "gas" to do a full lap-plus.
