I posted this link on Avsim, but I thought I'd post here too, since these are some of the most amazing pics I've ever seen. The clarity is awesome. Looks like they're launching a Canadian sat or something. Not FS, but worth a look.

Extra points if you can name the land in the second pic.

Wonderful ----------if any of you guys haven,t been, I can recommend a visit to Kennedy Space Centre @ Cape Canaveral, the Shuttle Launch Simulator is worth the Entrance Fee on its own, it will shake the fillings out of your teeth and re-arrange the Vertebrae in your Spine

Many years ago I had a friend who was Hasselblad crazy, spent most of his money on them.
Tha camera body cost nearly $1000, (I'm talking about the 70s) and the lenses are all Zeis and cost thousands of dollars each, plus all the other gizmos you can purchase.
They didn't have through the lens lightmeters and all sorts of things that other cameras had. I'm sure that has been added now as I havn't had anything to do with them for years.
Very Very expensive, but the best you can get.

Mike, I was looking at prices online, and if you want one, you'd better take out a second mortgage on your house. Just the Camera Body alone was 49,000USD. Lenses are right up there with it...
But man it takes AMAZING pictures!!
