To the group: I have not been into satellite observing for a long time so what seems new to me is probably old hat or at least common sense to many others. My (new) thought is this: I have been impressed with the detail that has been recorded in the pictures of the ISS and other orbiting hardware as seen from below. However, I recently thought about the fact that taking a picture from the ground looking up shouldn't be any different than taking a picture from orbit looking down. If satellites can resolve things smaller than a meter across then with good optical equipment, we should be able to do the same when looking at the satellite. Is this sound reasoning?
