That's how I felt just looking up the "flashing multi-color" objects in the sky. Not really much out there or is there? If they are just freaking
stars not much written about it. What I thought was strange was some Journal on the web as written by a scientist or astrophysicist is that it seemed
that even for them finding a "flashing multi-color" star is rare and that they get jacked up when they find one. Hmm. I used to search on the TOR
browser but now Mr. Softy says that TOR wont work on my PC ever since I reinstalled a new hard drive and reinstalled Windows 8.1. Just thought I
would mention this as TOR would get you to the "dark" web.
That's why I will keep investigating on my own with help from ATS OPS. I called Tech Support at Takahashi America last week and asked them if the
FL-100DF (FL-100DL) telescope could view near earth objects from 500 to 1000 miles out in space. They said that it
could not track or capture
in pictures nor video the ISS due to its speed and the same for satellites. However, I then explained what we saw and the guy said that he never saw
anything like what we saw and he and his son are out weekly looking at stars. He did say that I would be able to take pictures or video of slow moving
near earth objects with their telescope and adding a NexImage 5 Solar System Imager or System Imager 10 to the scope
www.celestron.com... I could then connect the telescope to a camera or PC. They did say that Meade
originally "claimed" that their LX-200 could track and capture pictures or video of the ISS but he was not sure if that's even correct. He went on to
say there is a lot of junk orbiting earth and some things are just not explainable. He also said that many dead satellites are tumbling in space and
that the sun can refract light from the sides of the satellite to earth to possibly make it look like a flashing object. He did say that what we saw
is unusual. While I continue to study the purchase of a telescope, I did buy a Vortex PRO GT Tripod for my Celestron Echelon 10 x 70 Binoculars. This
was one on the Binoculars that we used to observe the whatever's back in May 2018 so at least for my $700 purchase I can now use those binoculars to
view any object in a stable manner.
Good Hunting!
