#Starliner tests : The #astronauts 👨‍🚀👩‍🚀 will "trick" the #spacecraft "into thinking that it doesn't know where it is in space," then manually fly the spacecraft using a #StarTracker 🎇.
The crew will point their heat shield at the atmosphere for re-entry. Around 9 km high, the crew will jettison that heat shield and then deploy their parachute drogues. The three main chutes 🪂 will deploy at 2.5 km. Touchdown will happen in the desert, shortly after the #airbags deploy. https://www.space.com/boeing-starliner-nasa-astronaut-1st-mission-milestones

A question for Star Adventurer 2i Pro users:

Do you use the auto guide option with this star tracker and if you do, how does it work, is it a lot better, is it not much better?
I don't have a budget to get some better mounts at the moment, but i can invest in a guide camera and small scope. I really want to shoot more than 45sec-1min that i can do at the moment with my setup. I use a DSLR and Evo 72ED telescope.
