    Hey buddy! My name's Zane! That would be awesome to complete Galileo's project!!!! I'm going to sea in August and I'm going to take a small reflector with me! Just to see how bad the movement it is... What size boat where you on? I'm off on a 200m container ship. Last trip I was laying on the fo'csle looking up at the stars on quiet nights thinking... I'm hardly moving, I wonder if the big ships are stable enough now when it's calm?

    A. Grey (what's your first name fellow navlister?) suggests telescopes with stabiliser.
    I've tried a homemade stabiliser and 4 inch refractor for Jupiter moons / longitude with no success at sea.
    I find it difficult enough on land on a solid tripod, but may have another go with a better stabiliser.
    Should be possible. Would be good to successfully finish a Galileo project started hundreds of years ago!

    Wow! That's interesting! I was actually wondering if it was possible now to use telescope based methods on a ship now cause of all the advanced stabilisation frames from the military just the other day...
