Space telescopes are cool!

[Aethon]

So I went with Tarsier tech. space telescope and I love it! I hastily crammed together this lame JWST base for it so I could get to orbit and play with it and I happened to catch a spectacular eclipse of Eve by Kerbin from Kerbocentric orbit.

Also ran..

The Solar limb. I wonder if that's atmosphere or this " low above the sun" I keep hearing about?

Not to burst ypur bubble to badly. But, it is Eve is Eclipsing Kerbin not Kerbin Eclipsing Eve on your steam shots. Just a tad bit misleading there other then that. Great chance shots.

something like this should be stock. throw in a few science points

What? You mean Pink Floyd lied to us? Is not the sun eclipsed by the moo,oo,oo,oon?

I wanted that but the mod crashed my game. Weird.

Try Cateye. It requires Hullcam VDS which has it's own telescopes as well. Cateye provides more game play.

Yeah I looked at that. I wish ( and don't wish ) the game was complete so I could decide whether to mod v1.0 or not, and what mods to use or not, and not hafta worry about falling in love with a mod and having it loose support and functionality in the next update.

Ok, My design skills, while improving still leave a lot to be desired, and I had a hell of a time in the VAB getting the wings to click on further back. Five hours later I decided to modify my first craft. I think it retains a JWSTy feel while looking pretty kerbal.

The OOGLE Space Telescope ( [O]n [O]rbit [G]reat [L]ooking [E]xperiment. Also the name of a famous Kerbal astronomer, Sir Oogley Kerman. ), on its way to HKO for some quick SCIENCE, then off to high solar orbit, for stability purposes.
