SLOOH has too many talking heads, and not enough actual imagery updates. Pfft.

Thanks for keeping the list updated. I would have forgotten to look online but for your emails.  I did see these photo posted by SLOOH http://pinterest.com/slooh/slooh-space-camera-snaps/ Thanks Dion ________________________________ From: Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 5:44 PM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Today's Solar Eclipse Well, I'm really disappointed in SLOOH.  When it was all said and done, they only posted 2 images of the partial phases, nothing at all of totality even though an opportune break in the clouds at their location would have allowed well over a minute of totality coverage.  They ended-up posting partial phases from New Zealand, and a really good feed from Panasonic that saved the day for them.  They had a total tech meltdown on the beach in Australia, and blamed the spotty cell coverage for it, even though they spoke a few times about their imaging guy having to relaunch his computer more than once.  Funny that the talking heads on the beach at the same location never lost coverage.  Pfft. I managed 2 screenshots of totality, including one of the "diamond ring". I hope that anyone who pays them to use their telescopes remotely doesn't suffer a similar fate.  Bad press today, bad luck for SLOOH. Live Internet feeds still have a long way to go, IMO. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Send messages to the list to Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com The Utah-Astronomy mailing list is not affiliated with any astronomy club.
