This is a simple space station I made a little while ago. The right part is Shenzhou 8 docked to Tiangong 1 (left). Tiangong was too heavy for the Long March launch vehicle I had to drain its fuel tank before liftoff. This required an infrastructure holding the rocket on the launch pad. It was...

Well hello and welcome ! It's a nice and clean space station right there :) Is it orbiting the earth or moon?

The almighty Goto! I'm so jealous now :p!

You'll also be able to shoot the ISS! This is the best one a got so far Camera: Canon EOS 1200d Telescope: 700mm achromatic refractor Next attempt will be with the 114/900 newtonian! I look forward to seeing what you'll shoot with your new bad boy :)

I used rubber bands to attach the phone tightly then used a tripod with the binos adapter. And of course timer isn't an option!

It wasn't a telescope but binoculars! A good old 20x60 Tento (made in USSR)

Here it is M42 with a cheap Android phone

My baby is a Newtonian as well :) Phones and tablets are surprisingly good for bright sky objects though. In fact I used a cheap phone to shoot M42 and the result blew my mind!

Nice shot! What kind of telescope is it? A reflector or a refractor?

It's more an assistant than autopilot :) And yup I've heard of that mod

Thanks! I've never seen this formula before :) Indeed it's more easy that way and more accurate!

This is my first attempt at using astrodynamics formulas to play more efficiently (especially for rendez-vous). I used to time warp for a countless number of revolutions waiting for the Soyuz to meet the ISS. It all began with the very basics like Newton' second and third laws of motion and the...

Another one: "The New Horizons probe fly-by the farthest object ever observed : NASA unveils the first picture of Ultima Thule" :confused:

Similar thing in France... "Space : New Horizons sends pictures of our Galaxy's boundaries"

Okay :) here's a suggestion: try to put a docking port or structural parts to maintain both halves together and hold the upper satellite, which gives you something like that: Edit: it's misclick proof!
