I thought the photos might not go through the list serve - anyway- if anyone would like me to email them to you directly I will do so- just let me know who would like them or if I could upload them somewhere where everyone could look at them- I don't have a personal website. Rob Ratkowski wrote me about what the specifics of the shoot were: My friend (I did not take the photos) basically set up his camera (the new digital Canon Rebel- an awesome camera btw) on just a tripod (no scope or binoculars) with just a 32 mm lens (you can see the cedar tree framing the left of the shot) and took a 30 sec exposure without a flash; the light you see reflected on the cedar tree is from the campfire. The two shots are consecutive shots taken within a minute or two of the other. He wasn't able to see the object with just his eyes and he didn't photograph it again the next night. Too bad.. I think that is all the detail I can think of. Any more thoughts? Rex, I'll look at the website link you gave. Thanks, StG On Wednesday, March 24, 2004, at 01:29 PM, Rex Hale wrote:
Steve,
www.Heavens-above.com is a great site showing current locations of lots of objects. Especially note the iridium flares, those are neat to watch with the kids.
I'd love to see the photos, can you post them somewhere, or email me offline.
Rex
