This image is actually only of the International Space Station, taken two orbits after ATV-5 left, so three hours after departure: From the photographer’s Twitter feed: “ISS captured with 25cm telescope 2 orbits after departure”.

Great image, can you explain the image? Is ATV-5 breaking up in this image or rotating?
as this is the ISS- is the ATV-5 vehicle leaving or still attached to the ISS?
