Hi Kevin, How wide is the field of view on that camera? Has anyone successfully hooked up an SLR body/zoom lens with something like this? Perhaps with a Quickcam? I've been contemplating how this would be done properly for a while, but I don't have the guts to tear apart one of my SLR's in the name of science without knowing whether it'll really work. ~~K -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Fetter [mailto:kfetter@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2004 1:24 AM To: SeeSat-L@satobs.org Subject: Re: satellite observing success I have put up the video showing a flash from TITAN 3A TRANSTAGE R/B ( 01369 ) http://www.kfetter.100megs26.com/flashsat.mov It's in mpeg 4 format and should play using the apple quicktime player. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/products/qt/ You will need to turn up the brightness of your monitor to see it. The orginal unedited video is better. But this gives you an idea of what I saw and recorded. Play the video, and hopefully you see the sat. Tom wrote Sounds pretty cool. I'm interesting in doing the same thing, so I Googled around to see if I could find out more, and came up with: http://satobs.org/seesat/Sep-2003/0171.html I assume that's the setup you used. Let us know when you get it on your website. Yup, that's the same setup:) Kevin ===== COSPAR Site #1775 Long 75.6910 W, Lat 44.6062 N, altitude 100 metres __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
