Images taken (in June 2008) with my prototype star camera on top of the old test gondola for Spider. In principal, the star camera should stay fixed on the sky as the gondola rotates beneath, and the degree to which it doesn’t appears as streaking. The pictures show that conditions were poor for the test, but that streaking is quite minimal.
This post is mostly to experiment with different gallery styles.
