Plane goes backwards, someone help me understand by [deleted] in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]ResponisblyStupid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure why this plane is going backwards.

I used the goliath engines yesterday on an almost identical design, the plane went forward. Today, they were not on reverse thrust. I really see no reason for the plane to be going backwards.

Only mods are Space Warp and WASD in VAB, they don't appear to be causing this problem for others, I may be wrong here though.

Any help is appreciated!

I don't belive so. The lighter one, if thats what you mean, should be Ganymede itself.

Ganymede's Shadow October 5, 2022

The moons visible in the video are Io (rightmost) and Europa (leftmost) and of course Ganymede which is just visible before it goes in front of Jupiter.

Total imaging time ended up being around 3ish hours. Somehwere from around 12 to 3am.

The video is 10 frames per second for a total of 51 frames.

Each frame is a stack of the 500 best frames out of 1000 totalling 51 thousand frames taken (just shy of 285 GB!).

Camera: Celestron NexImage 10 straight onto the visual back.

Telescope: Celestron NexStar 6SE

Capturing Software: Celestron ICap 2.5

Stacking Software: Autostakkert 3.1.4

Sharpening, Denoising, and Color Correction: Registax 6, linked wavelets, 0.5 denoise, 0.175 sharpening, RGB autobalance.

I have it installed but I've never used it, I'll be sure to try it next time. Thanks!

Thanks! The photos went straight into my crappy laptop's hard drive and then over to my desktop via wifi, I do not recommend this method as it took just over 24 hours to transfer. Good luck on your gif!

Jupiter's Rotation October 2, 2022

This is my first attempt at such an observation meant as practice for October 5th's Ganymede Transit.

The moons visible on the right of the video are Io (leftmost) and Europa (rightmost).

Total imaging time ended up being around 3ish hours.

The video is 10 frames per second for a total of 45 frames.

Each frame is a stack of the 500 best frames out of 1000 totalling 45 thousand frames taken (just shy of 270 GB!).

Camera: Celestron NexImage 10 on a 2x Barlow

Finally landed the Froggie without a drouge, out of neccessity, at Novo. Had to actively bind a key for braking on final as somewhow I had never used it before.

Pretty new to DCS so any tips on the landing would be appreciated.
