I've taken a lot of astrophotos and I don't think even the brightest stars would register in so short an exposure (1/500 second) with so small a telescope. And I counted well over a dozen "objects" in the picture, all of which he said were moving. Still, the reason I asked him if I could mention them here SeeSat was to get some informed comments on what they might be. I just noticed that he posted a few more pictures to the Gallery showing the equipment he used with the Air Force's AMOS 3.67m scope in the background that appears to have also been looking in the same direction. Gee, I wonder what they were looking at? ;) http://gallery.utahastronomy.com/main.php?g2_itemId=5819&g2_page=5 patrick ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
