Same for NASA doing their launches in Florida.
Launching closer to the equator saves tonnes of fuel due to the fact that the atmosphere moves at a faster speed when compared to the poles.
Less fuel required means lighter rocket for easier liftoff and quicker to escape velocity.
Imagine spinning a basketball on your finger.
The middle moves at a much higher speed when compared to the part close to your finger.
Utilizing earth's spherical shape and rotation to your advantage.
Long time.Still haven't bothered to get a camera adapter.For the size and price as a travel telescope,it does pretty well I think.We have seen,among other things:matr1x wrote:OP, you ever set up your telescope?
