# 1642: According to the story, (if it isn't a cover) what we are seeing is what they are seeing. I can't answer your questions- just yet.

They would have had to preset the focal length at an estimate based on the shuttle's altitude at time on target (overhead) wouldn't they ? I can't see them tracking the shuttle and adjusting the focus at the same time. I don't doubt that lots of astronomical viewing devices in our inventory have automatic adjustments of some kind or another. This sounded like a duct tape, paper clip, rubber band- patch job, that for all intent and purpose, did what it was supposed to do.

I agree...It takes me 5 minutes to compose and edit a one line reply here and then it still has mistakes.

Oh...just one more question. Was it digital or film.
