Fishfiles 20,145 Posted September 5, 2023 @56Sierra I intercepted a message , you moght like LOL What time did you take the pic? A Starlink satellite (Starlink 101 G6-13) went by at 8:57 p.m. tonight with good visibility. Another went by at 9:01 pm (Starlink 99 G7-1) and a different one at 9:22 pm (Starlink 92 G5-15), but those both had poor visibility. You can track the Starlink satellites on the FindStarlink website by typing in Savannah, Georgia as the closest tracking location to Hunting Island. Musk launches approximately 100 new satellites into space every month, many from Florida, so you can see them fairly often. The NASA crew isn't supposed to be coming in until shortly after midnight, so you might still see -- or hear -- them if you go outside right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
56Sierra 1,844 Posted September 5, 2023 I had the 10" manual scope set up just inside the shop and went there at 01:00 this morning, opened the garage door to view Jupiter. It's very hard to take pictures without a tracking telescope. Today I set up the computerized scope and will try tonight. The 6" scope doesn't give near the views of the 10" but having it take care of keeping the object centered allows me set the phone up and get it placed just in the right spot. I'm watching for the Starlink trains but haven't seen one yet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
56Sierra 1,844 Posted September 6, 2023 Not the best but I managed to get a few photos of a big whitish dot. The sky was hazy with some clouds blocking Jupiter completely. With the zoom eyepiece I used on this scope I go from 71x to 214x. I could make out the clouds but the phone camera didn't. Probably since I tried to get the moons too. Should have taken a quicker picture to capture the colors. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Freedomflyer 1,886 Posted September 28, 2023 I don't think it's epoxy, it is a super glue called Cyanoacrylate, unsure works but so does acetone, the un cure is just not as aggressive as acetone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,567 Posted September 28, 2023 Yup.... it's nothing like super glue...some types are instant bond... very quick... then some remain flexible .. some hard as glass..they carry just about any type of bonding agent wood, glass, fabric, plastic, rubber, metal..... etc etc... the black he told me is used by Nissan to attach the door weather strip...... I used the quick cure to fix a clay top that goes on my sugar container... but I keep the sugar in a freezer glad bag... then it goes in the container... no way that stuff is food grade... or safe to use around food... the tube video I watched...the guy had every type... he glued himself by accident in the video.... haha!
