The photographic speed of the telescope is slow (f/10) so they may not be able to completely de-blur with a fast shutter speed. They might be limited to taking photos of things from the side (oblique angles) which would be 1000's of km away and move more slowly. Or they could use the slewing from the scope mount (the link says the scope is controlled by the ground). But in that case they'd also be able to slew at 4 arc-minutes / sec (near orbit plane) for celestial objects. | |
