Robic stopwatch used with digital voice recorder. Points reduced using ObsReduce. I was trying some prime focus photograhy with telescope when I saw a bright satellite unaided eye. I was able to position dobs tele in front of moving sat and with a 6 second exposure was able to capture the light trail of sat thru fov on 3 different exposures. I haven't tried to id sat, yet, but it was in the northeast at a 50 degree elevation at approx 3.06.00UTC I had taken some exposurses of Vega at 3.2,4,5,8,10 and 15 seconds. No other stars were visible in picture. I have to use a 2x barlow to be able to focus with digital camera. Does anyone know what my field of view would be?
