Telescopes ?

[Mapoko]

Hello.

Few weeks ago I was watching a KSP stream, where the streamer used a telescope. He did set ... I think it was jool as a target, pointed towards it and then upon activating the telescope he could zoom enough to actually see the planet.

I have installed Distant Object Enhancement as it is probably required, but I can not be sure which of the part mods it was.

I remember he had a contract to take a picture of ... let's say jool. So he had to turn the satellite, zoom in and take a pic.

I have installed cacteye, but had not the chance to try it.

I would like to station a Hubble like satellite and look around for asteroids and such.

Google the words 'kerbal telescope addon' and this is the first hit. Did you try that already, or have you been unable to find it?

I had it installed, but I could not try it. CKAN link sent me to the dev page, not the release one. Thank you ! I guess it was the right add-on to look for.

Is there another mod that does similar job ?

Oooh, I hadn't seen that one before. Thanks Harry Rhodan, for bringing it up!

I think it was indeed Tarsier one. Thank you, Harry.
