Ya, the drive back from my flight was nearly 90 seconds. It would have been shorter but there was a yield sign on the way. ;-)

By the looks of it, Steve's floaer, K7HAK-11, will likely overtake min, VA5BNC-15, some tmie over night. His is flying 2500 metres higher and the wind is about 30 km/h faster up there. Pretty

For those of you in EOSS territory, KK6UUQ-7 is in RF range of Denver. It transmits on 144.390 MHz APRS every 2 minutes and then 10 seconds later on a clear channel of 144.340 MHz. -Bill WB8ELK

Harry, Joanne's Pico is one of my APRS Skytrackers. It transmits on 144.390 every 2 minutes and 10 seconds later it transmits on 144.340 MHz. - Bill WB8ELK

I have heard that cameras lacking an IR blocking filter will have a pink cast. Jim Hannon -- WB0TXL WEB Page http://www.ocrslc.net/ Blog http://jimhannon.wordpress.com CoCoRaHS station

Yeah, and i intentionally didn't do any post-editing on these photos so as to not mask the problem, etc. Normally I would touch them up a bit before posting. I'm torn, as I think the optics are decent

Often making the image better looking makes the lens/sensor defects more tolerable. Nothing fancy in the way of image software was employed here. Freeware from something like 14 years ago. Global

Hey Joanne in your Instagram reply you said that your pico also transmit on 144.394. Is that correct?

Actually that does look more like the problem. Steve Virus-free. www.avg.com

Yeah, I was just doing some more digging. The Ras Pi forums are referring to it as a "lens correction" issue. Looks like it's a defined problem, although the solution may involve some

Hi Zack - Ive not tried (or even seen) that particular pi camera before but I see its based on the 5Mp OmniVision OV5647 sensor - that was the sensor used by the original pi v1 camera.

Zack, It's certainly apparent what you're talking about and it would be disappointing to anyone. Using the commonplace meaning of chromatic aberration (of two distinct types), what you have is not

Thanks to all for a great GPSL 2020! I woke up this morning with this weird feeling that I was in a motel room and I had to drive home. ;)

I uploaded a few photos from yesterday's flight. https://www.projecttraveler.org/flights/all-flights/flights-in-2020/flight-2020a As I dug into the photos from that RasPi camera, I'm seeing a lot of

I totally understand. ;-)

That was the dual 36 inch Mylar balloon with the skytracker. I'm glad to see that it made it thru the night, first night is the most stressful for me.

Wish I had some video from our launch for you guys but here is a couple of photos, just grabbed a couple from Neowise this morning, so awesome! Thanks again for the opportunity to join in on this

Hey, guys! Thanks for organising the Great Planet Super Launch 2020! :) Wonderful job! Never thought I would participate in GPSL, since it is taking place sooo far away, but this year’s online

No, not enough time today for that. The map produced was a high quality USGS topo map since this was hilly terrain and did get into backcountry land if the payload landed some distance from the last

Thanks, Tim. From recent experience with John's nice SLR developing legs and walking away from the landing site (also in CA), it seems prudent to try to get to these landing sites as soon as
