Ahhh - throw it way up in the air and pictures on the way down
 Cunning. Any pictures of the 'aperatus'?I've been trying to find a way to simulate MOC/HiRISE push-broom imaging using video footage from a radio control plane...no luck yet though - somewhere there must be a sourceforge project Doug |

It's geek power!!!  EDITED: No images from the 'thing' but I can take some when I arrive home, it deserves it...It's the first of a future glorious generation...  My idea is not capture images from above, it goes beyond that...The idea is to develop it to the point it can reach the ground and...rove!!!
