Image received from the International Space Station

I received an image that was being transmitted from the International Space Station as it passed nearly overhead this evening. They broadcast at about 25W of power at 145.800 MHz; an amount that is easily heard and received since the communication is line-of-sight and only a few hundred miles away. They only use it on occasion so it was nice to hear they were planning on a few days of sending images. I used a generic SDR receiver and a simple dipole and piped the audio output to MMSSTV. Some of the noise in the center of the image was because I forgot to correct the receiver for the Doppler shift of the ISS as it passed by.
