That is just crazy!

Any more resolution and we'd be able to see EV activity!

Modified 10" Meade SCT on a modified Takahashi EM-400, which is controllable by an RC plane/car remote control.

MrB - if you troll around the website, you'll find some pretty convincing images of a just-discernible astronaut conducting an EV...! (well, at least a white blob in the right place at the right time while an EVA was underway)

He's even done it in 3D. Very cool footage. You can see the effect of the seeing as it comes in clear then back to blurry. Extreme imaging indeed. No doubt that a lot of the skills are the ones he's acquired in tracking the scope manually with so much practice. Beautiful stuff.

That is quite increadable quality.

I wonder if NASA does similar video/photography of the ISS and what kind of resolution/quality they achieve in comparison.

Thierry is the master of catching Human Technology in Space. Look at some of his Shuttle against the solar disk shots... absolutely awesome.
