Nice view, Dave! On Tuesday, September 2, 2014 9:31 AM, Jared Smith <jared@smithplanet.com> wrote: Nice capture of Comet Jacques. The line down the right is clearly a satellite, and at first I thought the three parallel lines were a capture of a NOSS satellite trio, but the difference in brightness and the slightly offset brighter line segments suggest this is a jet with strobing wing lights instead. Agree? Jared On Tue, Sep 2, 2014 at 8:40 AM, Dave Gary <davegary@me.com> wrote:
Looks very nice, Joe. I wish I could get the same polar alignment with my Meade mount. I’ve been getting a lot of football-shaped stars with the bigger scope. More learning curve…I hate that.
Here’s a quick 10-minute exposure I did through the 81mm refractor this morning of Comet C/2014 E2. Three satellites came through in that 10-minute exposure. No dark subtraction, obviously.
