My image and animation of Discovery on her final mission

These are still frames made into an animation. I captured discovery with an imaging source camera shot at 60 frames per second at 1/1250 shutter speed (It's super bright)

Since this is hand tracked and moving super fast it's not showing it's actual flight path but still kinda neat. Each frame is 1/60th of a second in real time. Shot from over 200 miles away traveling at over 17 000 mph.

I used a celestron 8" scope manually tracked discovery and shot with an imaging source dmk 21 monochrome camera.

These were taken Monday about 12 hours after discovery undocked from the ISS. The space station was about 5-10 seconds behind in it's orbit.
