That's how I will calculate the altitude:
U take the real 1 m on the space shuttle and measure how much is it on the picture. Then u take real 1 m on the runway and measure it on the pictures (almost unreal). U calculate the ratio (scale) and that will give you the altitude. However it is not that accurate. U don't know the distance between the camera and the shuttle which also matters. But who has that much time ??? I still have to finish my trigonometry homework (gee 20 questions)

Glad ya'll liked the pic. I think it is a very, very cool picture...would love to have that blown up into a really big poster!
As for the altitude, my guess would be 120+ miles up. I may be wrong BUT I am referring to the docking altitude with the space station since the bay doors are open. Can anyone clarify? Yes, I am lazy tonight.
