Tumbling Soyuz Rocket over 700km
Taken by Ralf Vandebergh on June 24, 2014 @
Tumbling rocket debris of Egyptsat 2 launched in April.
Now adjusted the speed of the movie to the approximate real flashing-rate.
These high-res images show the actual motion of the rocket and are taken in the secondary focus of a 10 inch Newtonian reflector and a new HR-monochromatic camera in testphase. We see a slight double image which is caused by an atmospheric seeing effect, and an indication that the resolution of the images is diffraction-limited and it demonstrates the small angular size of the object.
Distance of the rocket was over 700 km.
