i beat that traffic mess by using the telescope in the front yard here in Orlando..heh

I wonder... Couldn't someone make a system where a camera is attached to the telescope, and then the camera is connected to a computer that is connected to a telescopes motors so that the computer can be programmed to follow the bright light using the motors on the telescope?

Sorry if it isn't explained very well.

those are called " guide scope camera's"..but they only work on stars,not something moving 1000 mph.I do have a automatic satellite tracking program, but it's done through numbered equations i can download

[Airclot]

Hmmm... I think I could possibly write a program that tracked a bright light, the only thing keeping it back would be how fast and strong the telescopes motors are. I might try to do that once I get a telescope and a camera that can attach to it.
