  • awesome work!

    Hopefully I can go see the launc this WED at night!

  • 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

  • nice job

  • Thanks,i used the laser scope on the side the telescope,made sure it was accurate first on star,then fallowed it up on rate 7,theres rates 1-9.Next i'm try the Space Station!

see all

  • Nice work! very cool.

  • 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.

  • GREAT!

    I love it :)
