Planes tracking in kind of Altaz (with Emmanuel Rietsch System) !
NEW : USING ASI174MM Camera
I works nicely and I guess lots of ISS-Tracking will
be done with this pseudo-altaz setup !
Main camera is EOS-1100D at main focus of the Orange C8 (F=2m) ISO 800, 1/4000s.
Tracking camera, DBK 1/4" is equipped
with a R25 deep red filter to kill sky glow.
I use a Orion Z-finder half covered (the red dot is just at the rim of the
created black zone otherwise it is almost impossible to see it) as pointer
...

and here are a lot of XVID movies (not registered = original tracking, just cropped except the 'NOCROP' one ... Enjoy !
| P3-1-Xvid | XP3-2-Xvidvid

P3-3-Xvid | Plane3- IPOD format |
| P3-7-Xvid |
* This movie shows the real size of the sensor, the quality of tracking, its capability to track even far away when contrast is getting poor.
A few test at night to see if the system will correctly follow plane lights : short video is here ... PlanelightsTrk
Note : Please wait until your PC has read entirely a first time all the frames
of movie in its cache ... the second pass will be nicer ! Also if you know
what name to put instead of the ?? please write to me!
