Re: Tracking ISS with my telescope
Great video!

What magnification are you using, looks like about 120x.

 Quoting: Remedial_Rebel


The camera was at prime focus so I'm not really "magnifying" the image with an eyepiece. Based on the size of the CCD chip and the focal length used the equivalent is about 150x magnification.
 Quoting: Astroshill


Cool, so is that CCD about 12 megapixel, what cam are you using?

That's great. Now track all the LAUNCH SITES for the ISS. According to a friend in naval intelligence, they are EVERYWHERE. Like they know something is coming and the rats are preparing to abandon ship.

By my calculations, it would require an aircraft capable of flying at 185,000 mph inside the earth's atmosphere while using three lasers with 200 petawatts of power each.

And it would have to be nuclear powered.

Compare the crew size >150 people, non stop safety checks and training, 24/7 operation procedures, legit everything that it takes to run a US Navy Nuclear Submarine; to all bs shit and "science" they conduct and throw in your faces "on" the ISS and its laughable. "Up there" spinning around on wires, baking cookies. There are interviews with Astronauts saying they go to bed at all the same time.

And I wont even get into the power sources.

So they are lying about how they spend taxpayer money? They had to fake the nuke in order to scare congress into allowing confidential/classified information. So now when they get caught in a lie, they just say we can’t tell the truth.

Here's a selection of my best shots of ISS over the last year, tracked with my SatTraker software.

I'm also developing a stabilization program which I used on the footage to stabilize and select the best frames in a moving window of quality assessment.

Astro, I don't mean to divert your thread, but speaking of telescopes, what do you think of Bruce Sees All?

He has relatively sophisticated equipment (for an amateur) and he takes his photographs from multiple angles. He reports anomalous features, and gets results that are consistent with those different angles so these features cannot be called artifacts of the JPEG compression, etc.
