Using a 14 inch telescope in Northern France, amateur astronomer Thierry Legault was able to capture the UARS satellite while still on-orbit, a few days prior to its fateful meeting with the Earth's atmosphere.

This is a very difficult, small object. Nice job of tracking and imaging! Thanks for sharing! Once again, Thierry shows what hist high resolution imaging techniques can do.

Good shoot: Can "something" that supose to be falling from the sky - burning and breaking into pieces to have a total light's symetric ? That could be a UFO.... One more BIG lie to us ! but I understand... The panic would seize Earth. Isn'i it ?

Real-time Satellites in Google Earthby gearthblog2,247,230 views
Um... how can you tell? It just looks like a very out of focus blob that changes. This is what I would expect from a low-power telescope, of course, but how does one know that this blob is the satellite? Without more context (background stars, reference points, etc) it seems that categorization mistakes would be likely.

@Kargoneth In order to obtain such images, the astronomer must know where to point and track. That sharply defines it to a very small patch of sky matching the orbit (known) of one particular satellite. Essentially, it can't be anything else. This is confirmed by comparing photos and drawings of the satellite before launch; It's easy to see the shapes.
