The DSAP-1 (Defense Satellite Application Program Block 1) satellites series, also known as P-35, was the first series of military meteorologal satellites of the USA.
Yes, but because of the manual tracking it's not interesting to show. You will only see an object crossing the field with enormous speed..
Your question: I put the best frames manually next to each other and you can see pretty good which of the frames are the best. The detail is sharper and better contrast in the moments of good seeing.

Are you not afraid that wishful thinking takes over and instead you pick only those frames which match what you are expecting?Since the atmosphere is so turbulent I would think you can only really get good high resolution imaging by averaging lots of frames.Thierry Legault has some good info on how to do this high resolution imaging right and how to do it wrong.http://legault.perso.sfr.fr/bad_astrophotography.htmlhttp://legault.perso.sfr.fr/technique.html
I vaguely remember having some discussions about this problem not only with pictures from Ralf - which we have discussed previously! - but also with pictures from Thierry.Someone has the links?anyway, thanks for the amazing pictures and welcome to the forum!
