Thanks Guys.One more. We are discussing if this is actually a reflection of Commander Ham in the left seat. In this 1:1 crop of the takeoff,I could not help notice a red/orange area in the cockpit window. I enhanced the colors just a tad bit in the window area to bring out the details  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

It's more likely you'd be seeing his helmet too, but that could very well be his 'pumpkin' suit. A lot, lot less likely that it'd be a reflection of the external tank.

Like you said, highly unlikely that it's the external fuel tank. The angle the window tilts back would prevent that type of reflection. Kevin

We compared notes and the orbiter does put the pilot very close to the window unlike some aircrafts. As you can see in the picture below on landing, the commander can be clearly seen in the side window. asysin2leads wrote in post #10192947 Like you said, highly unlikely that it's the external fuel tank.

Got a few more times to improve the quality too!
