Jupiter, Uranus, and the X-37B spaceplane
Hi all,
At 5:12 this morning we had a pass of the US Military's new X37B spaceplane just below Jupiter and Uranus, so I thought I'd have a go at capturing it. The X-37B was about mag 3.5, which is at the limit of what I can pick up with my K100D and 300mm lens. In order to make the X-37B trail visible I had to adjust the levels so much that the quality of the resulting image is terrible - but the X37B is visible, which was the goal. Had a nice view in binoculars as well.
Anyway, here's the image.
Cheers,
Stephen
