But actually, in the particular case of a video like yours, you wouldn't need any special tracking system, would you? The telescope is simply tracked at the Sun in the standard manner. Thomas Goodey ************************************ What do you do when your dream dies? Dreams die in every life. But not Pham's dream. He had pursued it across five hundred light years and three thousand years of objective time. It was a dream of a single Humankind, where justice would not be occasional flickering light, but a steady glow across all of Human Space. He dreamed of a civilization where continents never burned, and where minor kings didn't give children away as hostages. ............Vernor Vinge, 'A Deepness in the Sky' _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Fri Oct 10 2014 - 17:58:32 UTC
