Yeah, you and Hans beat me to the punch* on saying it's essentially an overlay technique from video to get a still image. Pretty impressive tech to be smart enough to deal with movement, though. (lending to the blurriness) It's crazy what amateur astronomers have been able to do for planetary imaging using a similar technique, e.g., AutoStakkert! – AS! Stacking Software – Lucky Imaging with an Edge – Emil Kraaikamp – AS!2, AS!3
*to my defense, I was sleeping
Everytime we stayed in Germany our hosts asked us not to shower everyday like Americans.
It's true that the cleanliness of Geneva is such that daily shower is optional, unlike any other major city I've been to. I thought about mentioning this in my Swiss piece, but I was afraid a moderator might hang me for derogatory post.
Good to hear, Zung. I read that about flushing, somewhere. By the way, since then (1978) we have had enough water to not ration too much. That was a strange year, unfortunately I remember little of it, but these days I don't party as much. '-) PS Karen will hardly speak to me these days. '-)

Just give me a minute.
I am looking around for that *&%# rope.

You can even make pictures without a lens.What impressed me here is that, for a number of the images you have stationary things (the spacecraft) and moving things (the humans). Previous applications I have seen have tended to focus on one thing (say a planet) that isn't changing from exposure to exposure even if its moving in the frame.
Isn't technology wonderful
I made this picture with just a body cap on the camera with a tiny hole in the middle instead of a lens. A camera obscura so to say.
I could have sharpened the image considerably, had I taken more than just one picture

@ Zung: Thanks for the reply to my inquiry. And, yes, I'm aware of the military service requirement and that the weapons are kept at home.
WRT cleanliness, I'm always amazed at the attention to detail for sidewalks and streets, and well-maintained flowers everywhere.
My understanding is that bacteria is actually illegal in Switzerland.

Unfortunately long discontinued. Occasionally you see a used Praxis system. If you find one it can work on Win 10 but with patience.
I think it's a template for the future adapting to the limitations of soundcards for measurement.
I remember at school we had to prove we could make a pin hole camera and take and develop a picture before we were allowed to upgrade to a lubitel twin lens.
@Groove: Good to see you around. We seem to be having Swiss day on the thread
Nice pic Hans. When I was in Japan, my (grown up) kids came to visit and we went to the Fuji Photographic Museum at Ebisu Garden Place where they bought these cardboard pin hole cameras that they assembled. A day or two later we went to the Iszu Peninsula and one of them took a photo on the beach with it at about 5 pm. It’s one of the most beautiful photographs I have seen. Soft, muted colors and a dream like quality to the image. My 14 MP DSLR pics liked crap next to it.
