Neat experiment Patrick, thanks for sharing! If you ever need help translating Korean let me know, my wife's Korean and I could have her help you out if you need. This technology sure is something. Howard --- On Fri, 8/22/08, Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> wrote:

She is in Korea and has remote access to a telescope in Hawaii (not one of Rob's on Haleakala). She was looking for someone in the continental US to shoot pictures of a minor planet at the same time she was.

It took two attempts before we got the communications bugs worked out but last night we succeeded.

See the result in the lower right hand corner of of this page:

While the target was too far away to show any obvious parallax it was still a fun project and just goes to show the fun things one can attempt these days.
