Yeah, its going to be a while before we see EVA astrophotography.  For this
one small step for an astrophotographer (couldn't resist!) I imagine just
figuring out where to aim the barn door polar axis is going to be a
challenge since the station rotates on its own axis independent of our
Polaris.  Not to mention that likely Don will not be able to see the
station's polar point in the sky as he is shooting out the window.  I expect
the results to be rudimentary, but nontheless cool because of the location.
It should be fun!
