I know this is now several million years later, but a question regarding the first Constituion nacelle seen in this shot. If it is a Constitution, shouldn't you be able to see the back of the saucer on the left hand side of the sceen? Aren't the nacelles and saucer of the refit-connie at the same height?
You can just about see the registry on the second Connie nacelle too, although I think it's at too extreme an angle to be readable. But unreadable registries doesn't normally stop people from attempting...
And do both those Connie nacelles look strangely dull to everyone else? Shouldn't they have running lights, or spotlights, or something on them?

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

The top edge of the saucer is roughly on the same level as the bottom edge of the nacelle... since the bottom of the nacelle is not visible, neither should the saucer be.

So, I assume then that that is not the top of the ship's bridge that's sticking out above the nacelle?

There are two possibilities: either they used the Reliant or E-A to shoot this ship (assuming they didn't take a single, large nacelle for this scene because it would have been easier to handle or to shoot). And since there's no pylon on top of the nacelle visible, it has to be a Constitution.

All these years I wondered what people were talking about when they mentioned other ships in Spacedock. Is this what happens when you do not visit a theater often as a child and purchase your videotapes in unpopular pan-and-scan format?
But I have seen the light!

No. That nubbin is on bot the Connie and Miranda nacelles at that point, just where the inset bit at the top front ends.

You mean the position light on top of the nacelle?
