Does it answer all the questions? No, but perhaps some of them...From:Gerry GilmoreTo:john lenard (santamonicajohn@hotmail.com)H i John,thank you for the moon images: once again they show that you are anexcellent photographer.There are of course many satellites in orbit, only a few of which areanything to do with JPL, but these are readily seen byastro-photographers like yourself all over the world.You should just enjoy the excellence of your images, and make themavailable 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 GerryFrom:Gerry Gilmore (gil@ast.cam.ac.uk)Sent:Thu 1/18/07 3:37 AMTo:john lenard (santamonicajohn@hotmail.com)Hello again,and again my congratulations on your superb astrophotographyYou are clearly getting some images at almost the diffraction limit ofyour telescope. In the very sharpest images there are hints of diffractionrings visible on the edges of the satellites. That is of course theabsolute limit of optical performance, and is only rarely attained.Interestingly, the process you have, of using a high-quality imagingsystem, with fast read-out, and then selecting the rare `perfect' imagesis something which has been developed and applied somewhat by one of mycolleagues here. You might like to look at our local web page presentingsome of this:http://www.ast.cam.ac.uk/~optics/Lucky_Web_Site/You might also be interested in a journal produced by theMIT Lincoln Laboratory - which is the group which has built some of thethings you are seeing. Much of what they do is what used to be theStar wars project, which no doubt involves some of your objects. Theydon't talk about the military satellites,of course, but there are many dicussions of earth surveillance, andrelated issues. It is distributed only to academic organisations, soyou may need to get your local library to borrow it, but youmay be able to get this (for free) fromSubscription CoordinatorRoom L-054Lincoln LaboratoryMIT244 Wood StreetLexingtonMA 0240-9185USAbest regardsGerry**************************************** ****************Gerry Gilmore FInstP ScDProfessor of Experimental PhilosophyInstitute of Astronomy
