And here is the view from the 600mm wider field scope

Tracking IM-1 on its historic voyage with the OurSky global telescope network! Congratulations to Intuitive Machines and SpaceX on a successful launch!  We will continue to observe the IM-1 as it makes its way to lunar touchdown, deploying a variety of scopes to provide varying views of the mission. The attached tracks give an idea of the difference in views of the IM1 and the Falcon 9 second stage between a 600mm focal length survey scope and a long focal length higher resolution system, in this case a PlaneWave Instruments RC700 tracking the IM-1 at a focal length of over 8,000mm. Visit https://oursky.ai to learn more about how to leverage our growing global network of high-performance telescopes to support your real-time observation needs with a few simple API calls!

Check out our new feature in SpaceNews! “We’re making the ability to track things in space just another layer of the infrastructure,” Daniel Roelker told SpaceNews. “Any space company can very quickly get the data they need to understand their specific application in space.” Read more via SpaceNews: https://lnkd.in/eYReumVR
