The payload camera on CNNSP-09 took a little over 200 pictures yesterday, before the batteries died. I installed a brand new 1GB card and the timer was set for...
Hi Rog, Grant KD5AFS also got a similar object in a pic at ORB launch. It was the moon! The moon was at 57deg/253az at 0750 CDT. If this pic doesn't come...
NSV has caught the moon on at least two trips and once we even captured a meteor trail, very cool. We should get groups who have captured in photos other...
GPSL'ers, I had quite a few responses to the question about when to hold GPSL in 2008. Only one individual had an alternate date idea (Jul 4-5-6), but several...

Thanks Joe -- Do your thoughts about color temperature for the moon factor in the difference in Atmospheric Mass (AM) between the surface and 75kft? On the...
Ok,, that one i'll agree with, diddn't think of that. best thing to test on image size is to take a shot of the moon now well tomorrow,, it's up after...
Roger, Was the image you sent a cropped image or the full frame? My money is on it being the moon, but failing that, perhaps it's a lens flare or a piece of...
