amateur astronomy video satellite tracking in space

the people that said i was fake try to take my films and make money when i try stopping them they started telling lies this is the truth below, the thief that made lies about me even sent emails to this Professor below and try to start problems with him to make me look like i was a fake its all about money, i stop a thief and they got upset they could not take my films anymore, fact JUST one last thing I AM NOT INVOLVED WITH ANY OTHER PERSON THAT IS MAKING ANY STRANGE CLAIMS OR COPY MY WORK TO SELL FOR THERE OWN GREED people have try to take my films and make money but i am not involved with them i have never got any money for this peace i discovered a new way to extend the capabilities of small telescopes and has been able to achieve optical resolutions - at almost the diffraction limit - not commonly achievable. The resulting astro-photographic video footage There are, indeed, hundreds of satellites in Earth orbit as you will read in the summary which follows. astrophotography From: Gerry Gilmore (gil@ast.cam.ac.uk) Sent: Sat 2/10/07 2:37 AM To: john lenard (santamonicajohn@hotmail.com) Hi John, thank you for the moon images: once again they show that you are an excellent photographer. There are of course many satellites in orbit, only a few of which are anything to do with JPL, but these are readily seen by astro-photographers like yourself all over the world. You should just enjoy the excellence of your images, and make them available as widely as is possible, through the public web-sites, magazines, etc, so you can get the credit you deserve for your skills. best regards Gerry ******************************************************** Gerry Gilmore FInstP ScD Professor of Experimental Philosophy Institute of Astronomy From: Gerry Gilmore (gil@ast.cam.ac.uk) Sent: Thu 1/18/07 3:37 AM To: john lenard (santamonicajohn@hotmail.com) Hello again, and again my congratulations on your superb astrophotography You are clearly getting some images at almost the diffraction limit of your telescope. In the very sharpest images there are hints of diffraction rings visible on the edges of the satellites. That is of course the absolute limit of optical performance, and is only rarely attained. Interestingly, the process you have, of using a high-quality imaging system, with fast read-out, and then selecting the rare `perfect' images is something which has been developed and applied somewhat by one of my colleagues here. You might like to look at our local web page presenting some of this: http://www.ast.cam.ac.uk/~optics/Lucky_Web_Site/ You might also be interested in a journal produced by the MIT Lincoln Laboratory - which is the group which has built some of the things you are seeing. Much of what they do is what used to be the Star wars project, which no doubt involves some of your objects. They don't talk about the military satellites, of course, but there are many dicussions of earth surveillance, and related issues.
