Starlink 8 Launch 4K footage

Those Blackmagic pockets are amazing aren't they?! Love those cameras!

One question: how do you track this so well?

Are you using that tracking software you made?

Looks awesome.

Thank you Dr. Astro.

Your video was no less than we have come to expect from you: first class and quality. It is stunning on the large screen 4K UHD monitor in my den.

Thank you for being a member, putting up with the hassles of modding, and giving us great content always.

I still don't understand how Elon gets authority or rights to launch all this junk in space.

Because he and spaceX applied for the licenses and the government deemed it worthy enough to issue them. Worthy enough they even let them use their launch facilities etc.

Thread: FCC gives Elon Musk the okay for 1 million 5G antennas in the USA for Starlink - 5G is about real-time information/tracking of cattle

He works for intelligence, like Gates, Zuckerberg.... A face for public consumption.

Elon Musk looks to me like a person totally manufactured by Intelligence as the fake human front for all these fake projects.

Musk's companies have received $5 billion in government subsidies

YOU pay for it!

OK, never said they didn't. And yes, as a taxpayer I'm helping to pay.

Exactly! Obummer gave him all his 'loans'. Yes, Elon had money when he sold Paypal but not even close to what Obummer gave him! Failed solar company, tunnels, etc.

FREE MONEY!

Cheers Astro, it's appreciated.

Starlink is for worldwide internet. You like internet? Then STFU.

Cgi. Fake

Proof?

I'm in love with it. It certainly takes a lot more work and processing power to convert the raw files to videos, but the end result is fantastic.

Yup, using the software I made along with an X52 Pro joystick.

No, but eventually I plan to independently triangulate the position and velocity of the rocket by having multiple observers recording data using my software and various telescope mounts.

This was my first real video filmed with it, but I'm quite happy so far for my purposes. And that's the real answer, it really depends on what you intend to do with it. This would not be my go-to camera for a quick grab and go cam for family videos. It's intended as a professional camera for very high quality filming where lots of effort is going to be invested in the final product. And in that role I think it's fantastic, but my needs may be different from yours. I found the light weight very desirable as it doesn't disrupt the weight balance of my telescope. I also wanted the small 4/3rds sensor size to be able to record satellites at very high effective magnifications. It checks all the right boxes for me, but for some use cases those aren't necessarily positive attributes.

TL;DR yes it's a good buy for me, but YMMV

Give it up ASS TROLL TURD

Unless you can show us a video where a camera follows the rocket all the way into "space", we all know this shit is FAKE. I'm talking about a video shot from a distance, following the damn rocket all the way up.

All we ever see is one shot of the rocket after initial launch, from a good distance away (showing the entire rocket). After 2 minutes the camera switches to the 480p video of the camera strapped to the side of the rocket. From here, it's all props and green screen. We see a first person view of the image of the earth on the green screen in the studio. We don't see the full shot of the rocket ever again.

These assholes have billions of dollars but can't strap a high quality camera on to a drone or a weather balloon and follow the rocket up to space. These things can easily go up 90,000 feet in the air and get a good shot of the ENTIRE ROCKET as it goes into "space". But of course we know thats impossible because there's a FlRMAMENT.

Even these bums strapped a GoPro on to a weather balloon and got it up 90,000 feet in the air.

So once again, show us a video of a rocket (from a distance showing the entire rocket) going all the way into "space". And I'm talking about a video shot from a distance showing the whole rocket. Not a fucking close up shot of the side of the rocket and a green screen showing the earth.

And if you delete this post and don't show evidence, then that just proves that you're a shill.

This is an air powered vehicle

It’s a blimp (Kevlar) with rocket fairings

Look how slow it goes up

100% that’s what is going on

Good footage Astro

You do realize... "The delta-v needed to achieve low Earth orbit starts around 9.4 km/s. Atmospheric and gravity drag associated with launch typically adds 1.3–1.8 km/s (4,700–6,500 km/h; 2,900–4,000 mph) to the launch vehicle delta-v required to reach normal LEO orbital velocity of around 7.8 km/s (28,080 km/h; 17,448 mph).[11]"
Good luck with your ballon mounted gopro camera keeping up at 17,448mph.
What would be easier is to launch two rockets with one filming the other from a distance.
