   Crew 1 views of ISS on approach

   The views NASA shared from Dragon of ISS during the approach   
   (yesterday) ... are those taken by the same camera that is used to   
   acquire the docking target?  The crew is strapped in and the portholes   
   are not easily reached from the seats.   
      
   I'm discussing the shots that show the whole station.  The final   
   approach shots of the PMA are also in play, but the big view is the   
   sexy one.   
      
   There could, of course, be additional cameras that crew or ground   
   operate remotely, but the docking camera seems like an obvious choice.   
      
   Shuttle views were handled by a Mission Specialist shooting through   
   mid-deck ports, IIRC, but there was also an approach camera in the   
   shuttle's docking adapter.

    Maybe C282Y is simply one of the hangers-on, a groupie following a   
   future guitar god of the human genome: an allele with undiscovered   
   virtuosity, currently soloing in obscurity in Mom's garage.
