A couple of enterprising Frenchmen, Thierry Legault and Emmanuel Rietsch, have been working on a project to track spy satellites. They modified a Takahashi EM400 telescope mount and a Meade Schmidt-Cassegrain 10-inch telescope for a system that follows a distant orbital object.

The two have spent two years on their project until they have finally managed to record the X-37B International Space Station as well as the Keyhole and Lacrosse spy satellites. Now those spy satellites have to be careful!
