It would be nice if we could define and run multiple independent Star tracking sections to cope with camera movement or scene blocking that breaks tracking -
jarlrmai replied to the thread Fixed Right click setting camera on ground actually puts camera at the AGL that is equivalent to MSL at that location.Seems this got fixed?

Inspecting and mechanically interfering with the satellites of other nations was examined in a recent episode of the PBS program NOVA. Space Wars A transcript is available on the same page if you don't wish to watch the video -
I've been reconstructing this case in 3D (I write RR0 and its open-source sighting simulator, UFO@home), and a few things came out that may be useful here, mostly checkable data rather than interpretation. Everything below is a working hypothesis... -
jarlrmai replied to the thread ICEYE-X36 and the COSMOS 2612 interception.They are saying they moved a Starlink to pin the satellite, but not sure where this information about the movement of the Starlink is sourced from?

Hevach replied to the thread ICEYE-X36 and the COSMOS 2612 interception.Russia also isn't the only one that does it. Same day as this thread the US released an image captured during a similar mission of our own in 2024. https://arstechnica.com/space/2026/10/chinas-top-secret-spaceplane-cant-hide-in-low-earth-orbit/... -

Ravi replied to the thread Interesting sighting from my infrared scope.Yes, hyperfocal distance etc. Good chance the hyperfocal distance of the device OP is using is fairly close. So everything beyond that is always in good focus. -

Russian satellites have manoeuvred to be close to other nation's satellites before. As well as possible espionage (e.g. signals interception, jamming, maybe visual inspection) they might be rehearsing (or demonstrating) a potential anti-satellite...

Yes! Many different types in fact. And Russia was almost certainly doing that here. ICEYE-x36 is itself a spy satellite. "Earth observation" is a general term for ground photography, but ICEYE isn't updating Google maps or doing river surveys...
