$Be Verwy Quiet | Hunting Satewites with Bob Tonight we are doing two things- hunting geostationary satellites with the Orion 110 EON and taking long (up to 5 min) exposures to try and capture some nebulae and other deep sky objects. We might get ambitious and try to hit some moving satellites in real time. Ive not been able to do this yet but well see if the Astronomy Gods are with us. Ive invited several flat earthers to join us on discord to try and explain what we are looking at. Info on the equipment: Optical Tube- Orion EON 110mm Refractor Mount- Explore Scientific EXOS-2 PMC GEM Finder and Guide- Optical Finder Scopes, Optical Guide Scope Cameras- Canon Rebel SL1 DSLR (main) and ZWO 120 on the guide scope Special Thanks to Judy, Ron and Rob for their exceptional support of the channel.
