SN 8 Starship launch to landing explosion tracked by my software

Cosmic Perspective worked in collaboration with Everyday Astronaut on YouTube to attend the launch of SpaceX SN8. They were able to use my tracking software to follow the rocket with a telescope and capture some stunning 4K footage of the entire flight, including the explosion at the end.

At 5:30 in this video you can see the tracking setup I designed for them:

Even though I couldn't be there, I'm very happy to see how well they were able to track it with my software. Hopefully when SpaceX lands a starship successfully, my software will be there once again.

Why did you delete the first thread and repost with a different title?

Do you think they faked the explosion?

Were you being facetious?

I didn't get to read any of it, I click and it was gone.

That last thread was messed up. The only reason it had any interest is because you posted it.

Don't know what you're talking about. Of course they didn't fake it. It was independently observed and tracked by my software. why would I think it's fake when my own software confirmed that it was real? There's no possible way I could have written software that would fake footage like this.

Not 5 minutes ago, there was a pined post titled, "Why did SpaceX fake the explosion of SN8?"

I clicked on it and got the not in the database page.

Re: SN 8 Starship launch to landing explosion tracked by my software
obvious design flaws trying to do to much without

proper aerodynamics n in the end they loaded up

with to much weight for wateva reason prob

asteroid mining equipment

make it longer a bit thinner symetrical in reguards

to wings and more propulsion if u decide to

increase the cargo

The telescope is on loan from OPT telescopes. But yeah it's pretty awesome. It's a 10" LX200. I use a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4K with my LX200 for launches, it works well. I think they used a Z cam for this one.

Great work! Here's hoping they put a forward probe on the surface with a camera and your software and we catch the first Mars landing in its totality this way.

When I saw that, the first thing I thought of is how similar this looks to the many descriptions of "cigar-shaped" craft noted in UFO reports.

One thing that is interesting is that the EA video edited the audio to remove the audio delay. So I'm watching it expecting delays due to distance, but it's not there. It's messing with me. But yeah, that video quality is awesome.
