I believe the close up was used to count bays as the wing deployed.
I figured that as well.
I was referring to the quality (light and dark).
The view from the Orbiter is better.

I agree that some of the live video was less than what I would have hoped for. But if that is the only thing "wrong" with the deploy then we should all be thankful. There is a lot more at stake here than whether I am happy about the video quality.

Now about 25 minutes left in KU coverage and 30 minutes left in this daytime pass before orbital night occurs. The next daylight pass starts at 5:13 PM GMT or 1:13 PM EDT after this one is done.

Well said. Let's follow this deployment with what we're getting and just hope for success over fancy camera angles.

At **:23 they will have 20 mins of sunlight left.
However they are approaching that bad area for KU. So I hope the deployment goes good the first time.
Good Luck!

I'm not sure NASA-TV has a lot of choice in which onboard/external views are selected, only selecting between the MCC cameras and onboard feeds.
I'm sure they were getting downlink of both views during the time (For more views in case of problems developing) and I could not believe that the PAO was "restricted" to what MCC was viewing.
I believe PAO really *is* restricted to the onboard/external views selected to show on the big MCC screen.

Anyway I just want the camera to be left alone for this view if possible.
Just a few mins before full deploy!
Edit: Image2 Looks sorta like Mars!

We will lose KU from TDRS-East at 12:43 PM EDT, have a 5 minute ZOE and then shortly after that regain KU through TDRS-West sometime after 12:47 PM EDT, but then the sun will set on this pass at 12:43 PM EDT and rise again for another daylight pass at 1:14 PM EDT.

Got a source for that? I want to read what these PAOs are restricted to.
Reason is, Ku only allows one broadcast tv signal at a time, so MCC decides which view is important (or switching between views as wanted or required for different console operators for whatever is happening at the time).
It's not like PAO has lots of monitors with every camera displayed and can switch between them.

I agree.
It was an observation rather than a complaint.
Let's hope it continues to go smoothly.

Looks like there is some sticking on the left side, about 1/3 of the way down, from the Atlantis's view. Or is this just a lighting artifact?
