https://youtube/watch?v=JophfMG65cc Many things have been said about the way John Lenard Walson can film into space,at satellites and other thing.He does not know what the objects on film are, but Gerry Gilmore was very kind enough to identify some of the objects that are the real star wars hardware up in space. READ THIS KIND E-MAIL BELOW FROM Professor of Experimental Philosophy Institute of Astronomy, Re: photo From: Gerry Gilmore ([email protected]) Sent: Thu 1/18/07 3:37 AM To: john lenard (santamonicajohn@hotmail) 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: ast.cam.ac.uk... 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 dont talk about the military satellites, of course, but there are many dicussions of earth surveillance, and related issues. It is distributed only to academic organisations, so you may need to get your local library to borrow it, but you may be able to get this (for free) from Subscription Coordinator Room L-054 Lincoln Laboratory MIT 244 Wood Street Lexington MA 0240-9185 USA best regards Gerry
