Have not used eyepiece projection or motor drive on any of those shots
but I might try in the future. Just manual tracking. Yes, I'll post a pic
of the setup but I don't have two digital cams so I'll have to wait until
somebody comes over with a camera and it might be this weekend.
Will have some more pictures the first of the week so I'll post the pics
of the camera setup then.
I do appreciate the nice responses to the pics. It is fun doing them
and knowing that other airplane addicts can appreciate them. A final
question....is the ISS "aviation"?. I guess if there are people in them it
is? Or is aviation only in the atmosphere.

Would you consider posting a photo of your setup from multiple angles?




Hi,

What telescope type and size did you use for that ISS pic ? Truly
amazing - want to see if its worth trying to recreate with my scope.

Close enough for Usenet.

I have a nice view of high altitude planes flying between north and
south California. I had thought about trying something like this but I
didn't know what was possible. Now I'm moving in a month so I guess I
won't get a "round tuit" but I will be near the flight path of the
Monterey airport so I might be able to get some shots of that.
Thanks for these shots

Well done.. What type of scope?

Hi,

R. Dean has this type of Telescope (he mentioned it some Posts earlier):
http://www.celestron.com/c2/product....D=17&ProdID=97

A Celestron 8" F/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain.

Im more interested which type of Mount he uses, a Fork-Mount or a
Equotorial / German Mount?

The Movement of the Mount must be quite fast to catch up an Airplane with
that Focal-Lenght.

Btw it seems that he also uses Afocal-Projection sometimes (Mounting the
DSLR to an Eyepiece which is put into the Eyepieceholder of the Scope to
dramaticaly increase the Magnify Factor).

Jens
