Observatories are very photogenic

Being a technician at the South African Astronomical Observatory, I am very fortunate to be able fly my Spark where (and when) the general public can not. After collecting hours of footage, I recently edited some highlights together. Enjoy!

You should take a trip to Germany ...

Good thing you work there, or some sleepy scientist might mistake the Spark's shadow on an image as a rogue asteroid . I enjoyed that. Thanks.

Nice video! You are indeed lucky to both fly and work there ?

I could almost see if the scopes were collimated as you flew over the mirrors ! Wonderful place to fly and capture some interesting video.

We are so lucky on this Forum to have films of this quality shot in and around a restricted area. Thanks for sharing it. Some great work into the setting (I presume) sun.

Why can't others fly there?
