Tractor Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 While taking some 30 second shots of the constellation Orion I was lucky enough to capture a satellite or meteor in the field of view. In astronomy we call these Iridium flares. Named after the Iridium corporations satellite cell phone network. http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f185/EWhytsell/OrionProcessed.jpg Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractor Posted March 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 hehe I had the camera mounted parallel with my scope. Thats the upper end of its tube. I was doing that for tracking since I was taking about a 5 minute shot and you don't want the stars to move. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
