You gotta love the automatic gain setting on that
EDIT: Lol, "execute payload auto-gain OFF" "compiling, 0 errors, 0 warnings... GO to send" That's what I call real-time commanding! -------------------- |

QUOTE (Hungry4info @ Jun 23 2009, 01:25 PM) Are you going to record it? That is the point  It's slow and painfull at the moment - but if it works and I can run it back at 10x speed or something - it'll be a hell of a view Sounds like they're sending up commands to tweak the cameras. |

Apparently, I've gotten spoiled with Kaguya images.
Still, this is pretty awesome. -------------------- -- Hungry4info (Sirius_Alpha)

Some people will say that there are better-looking images from telescopic observations. This is true, of course, but the images we're getting have a great value - we see that the cameras are functional and working well. In October we're going to see much more.

Managed to quickly create a LCROSS realtime simulation:
http://www.dmuller.net/realtime/realtime.php?mission=lcross I have not yet been able to verify the trajectory data but the output seems reasonable -------------------- |

Currently taking a screen shot once a minute, to connect all together later as a gif
 Don't know how it'll work out.

Call me crazy, but these commanding sequences and readbacks on the fly are more exciting than the visual light camera. Looks like the auto-gain OFF was for NIR cameras only.

I don't see this part of the moon very often with my telescope anyway
