Equipment

Unmodified Canon 30D @ prime focus Meade 80mm f/5.0 mounted on a Celestron CG5-GT. Exposure 1/1000 second at ISO 100.

Description

Three members of our local astronomy club and I travelled to Catawba Island State Park in Northern Ohio for the eclipse. At 5:21am I noticed a jet flying by and realized that it's trajectory would bring it across the face of the eclipsed moon. I quickly increased my shutter speed to 1/1000 of a second to freeze the jet in the frame. It worked!

Date

Equipment

Tele Vue NP-101, home built alt-az mount, 2x Tele Vue barlow, 3" extension tube, Canon 30D Effective focal Lent is about 1728mm (540mm X 2) X 1.6 (camera multiplying factor)

Description

Oblique view of the shuttle launch. Lighthouse Point Park, FL is 30 or so miles north of the Cape. Typical views of the SRB separation from the Cape show the rear view of the shuttle. This view is from the side and scales out to a line of sight distance of approximately 54 miles. Vehicle velocity at this point is near one mile per second. The most difficult considerations are panning at this long focal length and manually focusing at the same time.
