Curious about those first couple of blurred stills. Was there an autofocus feature activated?

The JPG's have finished uploading - so it's all there - enjoy
The first few stills are blurry just because it's REALLY moving around, 180deg/sec in some cases - look at the second .avi to see what I mean. MVI_6494.AVI is at apogee and you can see pieces of the ballon just after it has burst ( and the resulting chaos that freefall at 106,000 ft and 11mbar ) From 1520Z to 1530Z, the payload was over 30km - which is images IMG_6447 to IMG_6501 ( or MVI's in the same range ) |

Now I've looked through them all I see there are even cooler black sky + curved horizon + moon setting shots.

When you download the images, can you still find the 'image taken' time on them? If so - you can X-ref that back to the BIG LOG. (The EXIF image data has that)
http://www.pegasushabproject.org.uk/wiki/d...s:haps-1:biglog i.e. 6313 was taken at 145502 - which means an altitude of 22482.7M - only 2/3rds the way 'up' Doug |

LOL - love this page - http://www.eoss.org/handbook/chap3.htm
"If you stacked pop cans 100,000 ft high, it would take about 259,500 pop cans (each pop can is 4 -5/8 inches high when you subtract out the part of the can that fits inside the can below it). That's about 10,800 cases of pop." |

This image - http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/realtim...7132500.4km.jpg at 1320Z is 5 mins before launch. It's distorted - but the near realtime subset image for Aqua will use that same image, properly projected..
So these two (the Aqua ones, not Terra - that's 2hrs earlier) cover the view over the UK, and to the east, at, roughly, flight time http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/subsets...pe_2_01.2008237 http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/subsets...pe_2_02.2008237 |

Yes I've still got all the 'modified times' preserved as the time each was taken. The latest and hence highest moon shot I can spot is this:
http://www.umsfbu.com/HAPS1/PHOTOS/IMG_6435.JPG Very close to setting at 16:17BST - ~29,000m (95,000ft) -------------------- |

A quick pan:
Click image for full size version - (9016 x 2686) 1.7Mb Around 180 degrees, looking east out over the North Sea. North is somewhere on the left. At the bottom of the second image from the left you can just see the curve of the coast of East Anglia. Under the cloud on the right should be Northern Europe. The moon is in there to, just left of centre. Taken at between 28,000 - 31,000m (92,000 - 101,000ft) James -------------------- |

Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, the image wizards step in.
Now if someone would trace in the coastlines, that would be a real treat. -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

OK wget is still downloading but this has to be the coolest: http://www.umsfbu.com/HAPS1/PHOTOS/IMG_6103.JPG Right in the middle, that's the moon! Doug, you should definitely submit this to Lunar Photo of the Day. Paolo Amoroso -------------------- Avventure Planetarie - Blog sulla comunicazione e divulgazione scientifica
