Telescope Pictures 51

"R. Dean"
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.

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.

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
