After I thought about it, I realized that was probably the case. My setup
will include both a finder camera as well as a prime focus camera to allow
for easier landing of targets like Mars on the main camera), and I guess I
could use the finder camera to image sattelites. But I think I'd get tired
of moving dots pretty fast. So on to the next idea.....
