Observations of Space in KSP

[whiterafter]

I was bored and I thought I'd do some astronomy, so I launched a couple of guys into a kerbol-centric eccentric orbit (They totally weren't there from a failed Duna mission.)

I set most layers to negate over the earlier one then I auto-level the pictures in the end.

Here's a Jool observation

Here's an unknown object I observed

I thought y'all could help with the 'UFO' thing. I was pointing at 270 degrees along the kerbolar equator so I assume it must be intended there, could someone identify it for me?

Thanks

Can you explain real quick what exactly I am looking at? I know jool has a lot of moons, but what exactly do the numbers mean? Is object 5 anomalous?

[Bill Phil]

Jool has 5 moons.

How can you see them at all is my question. From what distance are you?

[worir4]

Are you sure that is Jool. I don't think you can see it outside of it's SOI

I think his picture is a series of images taken at different times, and objects 1-5 are one object that moved.

You can see it outside it's SOI, but there is a limit.

I remember having a telescope mod that allowed me to see all the planets as they orbited around the sun.

Telescope was in kerbal soi aswell.

So I guess there is no limit, unless the mod changed anything.

Far as I know, the mod only allowed you to zoom very far out.
